I have an MSD Off road 6a, MSD Offroad coil, MSD 8.5 superconductor wires and I love it. The only drawback is the 6a goes thru plugs a little faster than i'd like, I had to pull mine and re-gap them after about 8k miles. my next plug change will have a new set of plugs, maybe double platnums or bosch 2's.

the good part is it rev's way easier at low rpm's...

I've had mine on for a year now and have had no issues at all, however I never run 87 octane. only 89 or 91.
