Pro-Street owner right here. Two years and going strong. I gained 0.2 seconds when my car was nearly stock (check my website for details). I can't imagine what the improvement is today because my car won't run above 4,000 rpm's on the stock ignition. I've tried it and it cuts out big time!!
Before Pro-Street, it was the Omni-Magnum.

MSD Digital 6 Plus owner right here. I ditched the MSD6BTM not long ago in favor of this one. The result, well that's relative, I'm sitll troubleshooting what I believe to be a "Conflict of Interest" using a Accel supercoil and an All MSD ignition. The conflict of ignition I shall deem it is that my caps/rotors are fouling up rather quickly, in a matter of 2-3 days, but once I get the stock coil back in there I'll dtermine if that is the problem. I'm sure it is but I'm just waiting for the MSD p/n 8876 harness from Summit. But I will tell you this when I have a clean cap/rotor, it'll pull nice and hard like Willie said, above 4K RPM the stock ignition craps out. I can feel it pull to 6500 RPM w/ the MSD Digital 6 Plus.

Willie,
I was hoping you'd jump on this one, I knew you ran this system. How easy was the install? Did you use thier no-splice harness?
I hope to get some good gains with my modded motor. My ignition is all stock and showing it's age so I'm very optimistic.
I see you finally got the ATI blower in there! How do you like it compared to the old Paxton?
thanx
