Re: MSD 6AL and Advanced timing!
holy crap! chill out! 
as I've stated!
I haveHEARD that is useful, therefore potentially validating the price!
secondly losers with TRD racing seats in a Honda with a giant bench on the back with neon glowing lights are losers and don't deserve cars

Then once you're comfortable changing the bin etc. you'll be all ready to add boost.

Re: Should I get an MSD 6AL?
does the MSD stuff not really working correctly with our stock stuff have to do with them not really being designed to run with the stock ignition dwells?
like the blaster coil. I would think in order to really benefit from something like that, you would need to be able to edit the ignition dwell tables. Any sense to that?

Re: Should I get an MSD 6AL?
I've lost faith in MSD products, ask anyone who knows my past setups, I ran everything msd, now I am completly stock ignition, I am thinking of running the accell 300+ ignition setup, its digital, cheaper and smaller than msd stuff. http://store.summitracing.com/partde...5&autoview=sku

Re: Should I get an MSD 6AL?
The analog boxes make improvements on the points-type ignition setups they were designed for; they increase coil charging and if they slew ignition signal it's no big deal those cars are crude and you can get all the power you need out of it by twisting the distributor.
On a modern EFI car where ignition maps are 3 or 4 dimensional and constantly vary, those analog boxes have been known to royally ---- things.
MSD makes very very high quality aftermarket coils at a good price. The Blaster series is no better than stock Honda but when it's a decade or more newer, a third the price, and mounts outside the blistering hot dist enclosure they make sense.
Full control of the Honda dwell tables is readily available, and has been for some time now.

Re: Should I get an MSD 6AL?
yes i know about being able to tune dwell (eCtune user) but i was referring to being able to edit these tables with an aftermarket coil to take advantage of its "performance" ideology. Would an aftermarket coil do any better at charging than OE after messing with them?

Re: Should I get an MSD 6AL?
Yes and no.
Some of the intermediate coils, yes, you would get some gains in a high end setup by massaging those tables. This turns into the sort of system where running big gauge wire (a la fuel pumps - 10 gauge wire has netted me 325 whp Mustang/375 whp Dynojet on a stock Honda pump) is the deal maker or breaker.
Quite simply most coils charge so quickly that you just end up wasting time bothering. Manipulation of those tables was never meant to go in that direction, anyway... hint hint most CDI individual coils fry themselves if you overcharge them. Those tables are there to be turned down in the near future.
