Electronic Ignitions & boost
 

I'm still trying to learn what are the reasons I do (or don't) need an electronic ignition like a MSD 6A. It's a ZC with turbo and will be boosting 10 - 12 psi. I have a ZDYNE gold. What is the MSD or Jacobs doing for me that the stock one with the zdyne can't do? Should I get the MSD coil as well?

Thanks guys!

getting a new "performance" ignition to get a hotter spark is a good idea but not really needed, unless you're building a racecar or something.

Since you have the SECU, you wont need the timing retard device with the aftermarket igntions, but it does help a little bit to get a better spark with the aftermarket igniton systems like MSD.. I have used MSD & Jacobs, and honestly I cant tell a damn difference, MSD has been around longer and is a "bigger" of a name in igniton systems. So I have always like their stuff, not to mention they fixed a few things under waranty for me ;)

It isnt manditory to have one, but they are nice to have, I do recommend just getting the external coil and msd pro cap if you are going to do the full swap.

The MSD 6al will be just fine...

just to note abaz he said he has a zdyne GOLD and from talking to him also at the pittsburgh meet i do believe he doesnt have the secu. i could be wrong.

azulito you have the gold ecu not the super ecu (secu)???
