Search the forums. General consensus on such parts is OEM.
My experience was MSD was extra $$$ but did nothing but cause problems.

OEM parts for plugs, wires, etc.

Currently I like the crane system I put in, but had to retain the ignitor. The MSD unit allows you to completely eliminate the ignitor. I picked my box and coil up on here used for $40 shipped. To me it was worth it, simply because it was cheap and it added a rev limiter, which is nice when I am in a mud pit. I wouldn't spend the coin for a new system though.

When you sit in a mud pit for over a minute at 5500+ RPM, me.
Not to mention on launches in 4lo 1st. Real easy to hit 6k when you dump the clutch at 3k. lol.

I myself run a Accel 300 with rev limiter. I love my rev limiter. I would recommend summitracing brand if you are going buy brand new. They are cheaper and IMO they are just ass good as MSD and way cheaper.
