Just wondering what others have found in the differences between the MSD 6AL and Digital 6.

I just ordered the Digital 6 for my supercharged TA at the advice of Thunder Racing.

I have a 5 speed and will be able to utilize the rev limiter.

I like the digital technology for the small difference in price.

Just wondering what real world differences in performance were.

Thanks.

 

the performance is neglible imo.....

i hear some people like it and have no problems, but i hear more people who like it but have a lot of problems with it.

make sure you keep your receipt handy....you might need to get it replaced under warranty eventually

 

I have a friend who has bad problems with it. Apparently they are very, very sensitive to voltage problems (too much or too little), so you will find out quick if you have a charging problem. I think mainly people like them who are running boost and nitrous. You can retard at the flip of a switch and so fourth.

 

I am running boost, but do not need the retard function.

I was advised by Thunder Racing to get this over the MSD-6AL.

Just pulled off a Jacobs that had a bad computer. Don't want to go through this again.

Searched the posts and other than your comments I found no bad rap on them?????

Anyone else?

 

like i said, it varies. Some people have good luck and some dont

No matter what company you go with for aftermarket ignition always keep the receipt handy cuz they do crap out a lot. No matter who makes them

just something i've noticed

 

MSD has great customer service, i wouldnt worry about the receipt, i have never had problems nor have my friends, with them.

like previously said, they are VERY sensitive to voltage/shorts

i have heard that removing the positive battery cable, before the negative, can fry them, welding on the car will fry it, etc.

but, i can tell you this, a buddy of mine got bit, while his camaro was running, that DIGITAL 6 put him on the ground in spasms.


those things put out alot of power.

Yea. I just got mine. It looks very impressive. MSD states that it runs a bench test on every unit.

It has various safety features to protect the unit also.

Looks like a top of the line item.

I bought it from Summit and they give a 90 money back gaurente so I feel very secure with this purchase.

They seem to be selling very well used on EBay too. Almost as high as new.

I'd rather have new with warrenty!

 

uhh the ONLY difference between a 6A and a 6AL is a rev limiter...

everything else is on

 

6AL comes with vibration mounts too smarty

 

??????????/

I missed something???

But I did get the Digital 6 in today!

:lala: :lala: :lala:

Will test it out soon.
