RE: MSD Ignition.
Yep, the MSD coil is simply a stock output coil with better windings and internal quality, but no added spark power. Most current distributorless ignitions have coil packs that put out more than enough power to get the job done and in most cases never need to be upgraded.
The MSD Super Conductor plug wires are hundreds of times better than the stock plug wires. The stock wires have over 2,000 ohms resistance on the shorter wires (#2 & 3) and the longer wires (#1 & 4) have around 3,000+ ohms of resistance and they are not even a foot long. The MSD wires are less than 50 ohms per foot of resistance, this allows hundreds of times more spark energy to reach the plugs resulting in better and more complete combustion as well as more power and far less chance of spark blow out which is a potential problem on turbocharged engines. You will notice a little difference in the idle as well as it's responsiveness. You might also notice a slight difference in it's sound too.

RE: MSD Ignition.
Only if you have all the other mods you want to do done already. If not, get the mods that will make a noticeable difference first, then you can get the MSD coil for both looks and better quality. If you want there are one or two coils out there that are higher performing and shouldn't cost much more at all. The only reason I already have the MSD coil is because I had bought it and put it on my '99 Neon R/T previously. I took it back off before I sold it so I could put it on my SRT-4 that I was getting.
