I assume I must use the blaster coil any advantage going pointless as well?
Will making the change wring any more out of the motor?
The car is a weekly weekender around the local mountain twisties and occasional track day chariot!

Bill,

You asked about the difference. I can tell you that my "butt dyno" tells me I have more low end grunt. My nose says the fuel burn at idle was improved (less rich smelling). I would suggest checking your dwell before and after.

I think the multi-spark only occurs up to around 3k RPM. Any of the MSD boxes are higher energy output than the Bosch or PermaTune. I think the StreetFire is something like 95 MJ and the 6AL is around 110MJ.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.
