  Bill Tierney has been saying this for years; few people wanted to believe
him though. :-) Although the truck may "feel" stronger, he has consistantly
documented a .2 second loss (gain in ET) in the 1/4 mile when the MSD is
activated. Regarding the OBD-I vs OBD-II theory, his truck is a '93, so
there's another data point for an OBD-I truck that doesn't make its best
power with the MSD.
