Default Msd Ignition 5.9l

I was thinking about putting an MSD in my 5.9l. I was just wondering who has put them in and if its worth it. And the procedure of installing it. Thanks for ANY info.

On a stock truck not worth it, I even know of a few guys with 408s on a stock ignition

Quicker starts, smoother idle, slightly better throttle response up to about 3K RPM..... you don't get any more power though, nor does it help fuel economy.

I had one on my Firebird..... but, aside from what's listed above, there wasn't really any difference.

I have a 408 on stock ignition.

I don't think the msd would be worth it.
