Whats the best MSD type setup out there for the money?

Is MSD the best ignition set up out there? This is just for a daily driver not a race car so I don't need anything for high rpms really. Let me know what you guys recommend. I have a '90 Lb9 ' if that makes a difference.

The Summit Racing brand 6 series with rev limiter. It is fully digital. It is the exact same part as the mallory 6al

i don't have any experience with Mallory ignition boxes , but I went through 2 Mallory UniLight Distributers and they were junk. I have an MSD 6Al box with the MSD Distributer and I have had NO problems now for 3 years.

Best setup for what? Street, drag racing, etc??? What you want to use it for will dictate which model.

MSD just came out with a new Digital 6 box, similar looking to the old school 6AL, but it's digital, seems to have all the same things as their old Digital 6 Plus box... Their 7 models can be programmed / accessed via computer...

You don't need it for a street car.
