What MSD product are you installing? I ask because some of (older) MSD's products and systems cause misfiring at certain load situations and rpms. Not all, but something to look out for.

^well it's still worth buying/installing if it's free or really cheap... just if it's over like $40 I wouldn't waste my money

lol, did you see that phrase in my past posts? lol, I've always used that as a rule of thumb, but it also depends on which motor's ignition as well and the application.
