Well in terms of the most ammount of volts, I don't know but I have had more problems with the MSD Blater 2 Coils going bad. I went through three of them, then I picked up an Accell Coil and kept it in my car untill the MSD went bad again. Replaced it and haven't had a problem yet. No notice in performance between the two.

Jacob's.

If you're thinking of trying MSD, just get the Accel. That's what I've used and it works very well. Saves some dough.

However, if you want the best ---- Jacob's. Look it up and compare what the ratings are in Summit.

I moved my jacobs from my truck to my car, and then put a blaster 2 on my truck. Difference is incredible. I think I'll be looking for another jacobs unit. Truck runs much rougher and mileage is down. The truck even has an msd6a.

i preferr hypertech coil. 53k volts and never had a failure yet. i've installed 6 so far without a problem and with only good results. with a good coil and a .005 to .010 increase in spark plug gap, you'll be happy.
