You running 6000 rpm alot, for long periods? Frankly, I've used the stock dizzy on blower, nitrous and turbo apps without difficulty, with 6000 rpm as max, and only briefly. If you are into an application that needs sustained high rpm, it's probably worth it to upgrade the distributor to reduce spark scatter but otherwise, money is best spent elsewhere, imho.

 

The MSD has the same set up as a stock

The problem is MSD dosn't use FORD electronics and this makes them more prone to problems than the stock ones.

With a AEM you can't hardley get the car to run with a MSD put a junk yard stocker in it and perfect.

The only differnce with a MSD is the housing looks nice

Save your money.

My fancy billet MSD distributor failed three times in 100 miles. They kept "fixing" it and it kept going bad. Went back to my 100K mile stocker with no problems.

 

I have spun stock TFI distributors over 7000 many times without problems. The secret is having a good spark amplifier and having good wires.
The MSD's are more prone to failure right out of the box. After double checking many of them, they have shaft run out problems allowing the reluctor ring contact the pick up.

 

Tha "Advantages" R ZERO as others have stated other than Bling..I've had 3 of them go bad...I now use the stocker on all 4 of my Mustangs!!!

 

Your car will be faster with the MSD because your wallet will be lighter.

 

Stick with the stocker over the May Suddenly Die

 

Spend that couple hundred bucks on something else. The stock distributor works just fine.
Put a new cap and wires on it and you'll hardly be able to tell the difference as far as looks.

 

i'd stick with the stock, money can be spent better elsewhere

 

Yeah MSD disty's are junk. I had one bad right out of the box. MSD didn't believe me when I said the PIP was bad, I should have just asked for a freakin refund. I hate this piece of junk.

Just paint your stocker if you want better looks.
