I agree that an MSD box would not improve your performance if your stock
ignition (wires, coil, rotors, etc) is in good condition. Unless you've
increased compression or adding boost or running a really rich mixture
there's no need for it.

                Several listmembers have run the Jacobs magnum with
disappointing
                results that have been verified using elctronic
accelerometers. I
                beleive the latest test showed a decrease in horsepower of
about 17. I
                own a Jacobs Ultra team setup and have disconnected it until
I can get
                to the dragstrip and do back to back performance testing.
BTW, other
                members have also tried the MSD setup with similar results.
Apparently,
                Chrysler has got the factory ignition system well optimized.
Spend your
                money on the Mopar performance SBEC or good ehaust work.
These will get
                you the most performance for the $$$.
