Opti-spark msd vs gm

[CJOFORM]

Friend of mine ran an msd on his camaro before it broke. It lasted about a year, I don't know the mileage. I do not know if mine is the original or not but I have put 40k on the car since I have had it and it is a delco unit.

if your not revving past 7K you dont need a 24X... its still nice but youll be perfectly fine with an opti. my car should make close to 700RWHP and im running an opti...

Reliability and tunability

Chandler Motorsports opti can be had for under $100 making the 24x conversion that much more overkill.

Have you changed plugs and wires, thats easier than the opti and could be the issue.

EDIT: I had intermittant miss and finally changed opti which didn't fix it, sold opti for 20 bucks and think its still running.

24x will cost you a LOT more, no matter how Dutch you are...

at least 3x the cost of a typical opti replacement. I think it will be one of the best things I'll ever do to my car though. I believe that the difference in these systems is THE biggest reason for the LS1s good reputation and resale in comparison to the LT1. Had the LT1 been 24x from the factory, we would have seen a MUCH bigger aftermarket.

ignition is the only reason I did/am considering an LS swap. Its just a far superior system.

I put new delco plugs in it 10,000 miles ago and new msd wires. I'd like to think that's not my issue but I'm not ruling it out. I hate trying to diagnose intermittent issues. But I hate throwing parts at it till its fixed even worse.
