Bernd, don't want to start a flame war, but since you are the most
experienced Dakota guy, I think you would defer to Mark's data on the MSD.
Unless you have numbers to back up your claims. It would be nice if we could
get hard data from either MSD or any of the other folks out there using any
aftermarket ignition. If I had access to a dyno I would do it, as I have
questions myself. I have been running a 6A for the past 3 years, and
recently removed it to see if I can tell a difference with all of the mods I
have done lately.
