NO ! Atleast not on my 93 and similar experiences with Jacobs on a 96 and I
think 97. I have a MSD6A but have a switch setup and only use it when running
juice. When not running juice I switch back to stock. I have and can verify a
.2 seconds and 2 mph loss in 1/4 mile runs. There was also a noticeable loss
of power on hills (Hills I could normally pull without it shifting out of OD
will slow down and shift down with the MSD. It is apparently a Mopar Magnum V8
scenario but if I didn't need retard for the juice it would not be on there.
Save your money the ignitions on these things have to be good to meet the EPA
requirements and still have performance .

I have heard of several who say they feel a improvement but I don't know of
any verified improvements from using the MSD or any other aftermarket igniton.
