A good thought, but:

I installed a MSD 6AL, blaster coil, and 3-step limiter on my Civic SI. $300 later, and I finally realized it didnt do crap.

Not sure how you would even hook it up to the 5VZ since it is a coil-on-cylinder design. This system by Toyota is very efficient. Besides, no one has proven that there is a flame-out condition with the TRD SC...and that would be the only real case you would want a "better" spark.

Waste of money in my book.

I missed that one too! Well, I know the 6AL would not work...

I have no experience with the model Galen previously posted. But there is your answer.

Thanks G.

The MSD! I have a Dis 4 with 2 tac's, it works. It took alot of time and money, you need to find someone who know the electrical system. If you want some pic I will send them.

I think most of the problem will be with finding a place to put the unit and then routing the wires neatly. Other than that, if you have access to a FSM, you can suss out the wiring in short order.

Thanks for posting the pic NX. Do you have any more with maybe a wider view of the unit in it's mounted position on your truck?

Later.
