Better throttle response and maybe idle and maybe gas mileage. No hp/tq increse.

Besides what 91bird305 listed, the 6AL also has a built-in rev limiter. I am running a 6A, but planning on a 6AL upgrade. As far as performance...I changed too many things at once to tell if a specific benefit was gained.

definately better throttle response. I've had to drive my car on the highway one way with the MSD and the other without the MSD, and I noticed an improvement in throttle response.
As for gas mileage, I noticed an extra 25km to the tank. Yes, I live in Canada where the Metric system is in effect.
