I have the accell 300+ ignition on my formula and when I hooked it up I noticed a mark improvement in performance,millage,and idle quality. The accell comes with a rev limiter and coil. The accell is also smaller that the other units which makes it easyer to mount.
Hope this helps

The MSD is super easy to instal, I had it doen in 15 minutes, just buy the plug in harness and you wont even have to splice wires.

 

which MSD? the 6a or the digital 6?

The 6A is what I used

go with the msd 6aL with the rev limiter

Save some money and don't get the rev limter, you don't need it unless you car is a manual transmission.

 

i have the crane hi-6s, it came with built in rev limiter and an adapter harness, it plugs in to your coil wires and into your coil, and then you ground one wire, it was the easiest install, but you have to advance the timing afterwards cuz it retarts it like 20*, well worth it, and it is very small and easy to find a place to mount, get it!!!!

 

I know this is not one of your choices but I use the Mallory HyFire IV with the promaster coil setup on my machine. I have always wondered why I don't see a lot of people with the same setup. It has worked beautifully for me.

Get the Accel unit, much better than many out there. If MSD would fix the stuff sent in for repair I would reccomend them, but they dont so I will never own another MSD product. Jacobs also makes some good stuff. I use the Accel 300 system.

 

I used Accel (see sig), and it has been flawless for 2 years. Got the billitech distributor a few months ago as well. I can't really comment on others, but my throttle response went from good to great. Did not expect to feel the difference, but I did. Milage also improved slightly. Installation is very easy too. For the money it cost, I'm very satisfied.

heh thats the exact same setup my bro's use on their camaros! i just wanted to be different from them and branch out. it is a good setup though, just not what i was looking for. thanks though.
Blown85/TA i know what you mean my bro sent one of his boxes out to them over a year ago and come to find out that they never fixed it and sent it back to use in the same condition.
