Well, it's not entirely poor of a decision. I could use the
10+ year old MSD setup on my engine run stand. None of it will go to waste really. A mile or 3 gain is pretty good for a daily driver. That right there sounds promising.
@Johnny Mac You do bring up a good point there. Keep what I have for now and just save up for the Sniper. I wanted to do it right and get the gas tank and all that, but a $2,000 budget is hard to swallow. The reasons I have for a Sniper would be for better cold starts, hopefully better economy (every mile counts), and not having to worry about elevation changes when I go up to the mountains (on the rare occasions). Also good to know to steer clear from Pertronix stuff.
@autoxcuda I think he did, I can't remember if he used mine or or his own. I know he didn't use my MSD box. Also, he dyno'd it with another carb (a Holley) but that one started leaking so I slapped an Edelbrock on. I need to fix the leak and slap the Holley back on. It's only been sitting on my shelf for a year. LOL
@Mattax and
@AJ/FormS How's this 2 stage work? Is it in the springs?
Thanks all, this is all good info.
