Look up the output voltage of the MSD pack for the 2ng-gen Neon, and you guys tell me if you want to waste your money.

I know the answer, because I used to build the OEM packs in our cars.

Save your money
Right on....

I assume with the boost you were getting "blow-out" ... the NGK's probably helped with this as you said. For us who are still stuck with 9.3:1 NA, it'd probably be much harder to notice than it is with the setup you are running.

KARR: Odds are in your favor you won't have to ever replace the coilpack. They are rated at a 150k mile minimum, but usually have no problem lasting much longer than that. Failures do happen, but the percentages are so low I wouldn't bother with it until (or if) it fails...

Good I was hoping I didnt have to buy a coil pack. Ill just buy the plugs and wires like I started to. Man I changed my front turn signals bulbs. The passenger side was a b****.

Did they burn out on you, or did you go with something different? My bulbs are fine, but the orange glaze on them is starting to flake off and lay inside of the lamp.

You know what Iowa ol' buddy (LOL) I thought they were just blown out and I been bought the bulbs for the turn signals and the side markers, I was too lazy to change them. So I changed the side markers when I dropped in my CAI. Well I went to change the turn signals yesterday but stopped. So today I decided to do them and found out my turn signals weren't blown but were not there at all. Thats right no bulbs. I was pissed. What brand bulbs do you have Iowa? I bought Sylvania. Got them at Walmart.
