Default which MSD to get?

I'm buying a MSD for my 98 prelude
SETUP
t04e turbo .57 .48 7psi
450cc injectors
SAFC2

I want to retard my ignition but i dont know what MSD to get. I seen the MSD 6btm but do i need to buy that one. Cause i can get a pretty good deal on a MSD Boost timing master. With the MSD boost timing master it doesnt amplify ignition so will i need something else to run that? or will that work. I heard of "blow out" when you dont run a hot enough spark it blows the spark right out like a candle.

If your getting the BTM separate than just get the 6AL. However, I would reccomend the Crane Cam ignition instead. I have it in my Civic and I'm alot happier with it than the MSD's cause you don't need "pills" to adjust the 2 step rev limiter. And Summit always has the special for the box and an external coil for $200.

I thought you couldn't run the BTM without buying the basic MSD ignition?

I think the MSD Site says that - could be their way to get more money out of you however. If you can run just the BTM by itself that would be killer.
