MSD 6a and gas mileage??

i might put the MSD box and coil from my dead iroc on my gta. since i've never had the iroc without the box, i dont know what the difference will be.
has anyone had any kind of gas mileage increase with these things?
any bad things?

I've noticed maybe a smoother idle, but no increase in mileage. It pulls a little higher too.

I have never noticed a gain in performance from a captive discharge system (msd6al). The only thing that I have experenced is smother idle and maybe a milage increace (not enough to go out and buy one),but if you have one it won't hurt anything.

Do they mess with the radio reception or anything?
