Which is "better"? I have the MSD 8226 coil and the digital 6 box. Thinking about getting the Accel to throw in the mix (my setup)

If your car is stock then the factory OEM ignition parts are the best to use. AcDelco/Delphi. There is absolutely no need to run an ignition amplifier box on a stock or even mildly modded engine.
