Accel VS MSD

Accel VS MSD
I would like to upgrade my cap, rotor, wires and coil. Been doing some research and found Acell makes a complete set-up for my 96 ram 5.9. They have matched cap and rotor. 9000 series wires, "u" groove plugs and a "magnum" coil for right around $200. I've always used MSD in everything I have put together in the past and have been pleased.. unfortunately MSD does not have a Complete set-up that I have found. Also couldn't find a cap and rotor. My question is has anyone tried either of these products on the rams, and if so what are your thoughts with there performance? Thanks

go with a msd coil, 8.5 wires, and a good cap and rotor with brass contacts, maybe even a msd 6a ignition box for a good improved spark,
but for the first tune up id just buy the accel super tune-up from jegs or summit.
by the way thats a nice dodge, what size tires/gears do you have?

Accel has brass contact cap and rotor. I get the accel tuneup package. The only thing is the U-Groove plugs are shorter than the stock plugs. Not sure why. And one time they sent a rotor that didn't fit.
I have been using Accel for years (For ease and price). No problems.
I will say this, I am getting pulstar iridium plugs and magnacore wires next tune up. ANd just the summit cap and rotor. They are brass contacts.
If you have a MSD system (Box), your cap/rotor/plugs/wires will wear out 3x as fast because they emit 3x the spark.

Dont use Accel coils. I had a set crap out on me in the S-10 after 2,000 miles. I dont think I'd use the Accel plugs, just stick with the stock Champions or NGK V-Powers.
Next time I do my ignition, I wanna try this, though:

If that is too expensive for you, just stick with your OEM replacement stuff. There is absolutley nothing wrong with them.

Thanks guys for all the replies. I do have a spare MSD 6A box laying around in my garage. is there a great benefit to running that over say a MSD replacement coil...Does it mess with the fuel sync. to run the msd box, I assume I can just use the cam position sensor to run the MSD box? I never messed with fuel injected vehichles. always played with carbed motors. Any info would be appriciated. I'm thinking it would be nice to use the MSD 6A with a blaster coil. MSD 8.5 wires and possibly the accel cap and rotor or a brass contact cap and rotor from summit or jegs. Champion or an autolite plugs then. Thanks again to all.
