which Ignition system should I get?
MSD....6A, or 6AL?
Jacobs...Mileage Master,Pro Street,Torquer EZ
Acell 200,300
Crane Fireball...HI-6, HI-2000
HP Annihilator (holley)
MSD,Accell,and the Annihilator seem to be around $160-200. Crane seems a tad bit cheaper , while Jacobs costs the most (almost 400!), but they make the biggest claims like 20hp, knock off 2/10th's.
So what is everyones opinions and experiences with different brands?

Holley's catalog seemed to say that the Annihilator requires distributor modifications.
Other than that, I dunno, go with what you think's the best. They're all close to the same. I picked an MSD box "just because".
The Accel 200 is along the lines of the MSD 5... a better capactive discharge system, but no multiple sparking.
I knew someone that had a Jacob's box on their 2.8 Camaro, he liked it, and said the car felt better, but that's as far as I knew.
Not too many people use Crane, don't know why.
