![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() MSD Digital 6+ Ignition
![]() ![]() When running cold plugs, like my NGK TR6's, it is essential to run an aftermarket ignition to prevent plug fouling. Also, when running the juice, it is important to have a strong spark to burn the exotic mixture of fuel.
So why did I choose the Digital 6+? MSD is the leader in ignitions, and is the only brand I would really consider. I know other companies make good ignitions, but MSD just stands out. The Digital 6+ offers more bang for the buck than all of their other ignitions. It cost me $280. For a super easy and clean install, I also got the wiring harness to go along with it.
Its useful features are dual rev-limiters (I am only using one) and the retard function. I pull a couple of degrees of retard when running the juice, just to be safe. Some people would say why not just buy a 6AL and retard box. Several reasons. That combo would cost about $280. It also is two separate boxes, taking up valuable space. They both use those damn resistor pills, while the Digital 6+ has built in dials. It also draws less current and produces more voltage than the 6AL. Need I say more?
This, along with the new coil, really improved my throttle response. From a seat of the pants perspective, I feel I got a few extra HP from it too. Some people w/ LT1's don't notice these gains nearly as much, but they are usually the 96-97 motors, which have a slightly stronger ignition from the factory.
