Anyone using MSD or HKS ignition system?

Just as the title says, i want to know if anyone is using any aftermarket ignition systems on their max. I have heard they make a difference on higher rpms. Just want to see if its true, or and anyone can back it up.

thanks

The MSD doesn't work with our coils since ours have a transistor in them or something.

Go pop your hood and let me know when you find any spark plug wires to replace.

I saw that you said coils, but the wires comment was funny and that's what I was commenting on.

Edited because I came down on you pretty hard and I don't want to be known as "that guy" who rips on people on the internet. But yeah, chill man, it was a joke, and you have to admit, if you knew we don't have spark plug wires, why'd you include wires in your post.

If you want an ignition upgrade that actually works take a look at the Kenne Bell Boost-A-Spark. You'd just better be putting more than 450 to the ground for it to benefit you.
