Is a hipo distribtor/coil necessary?

I guess for the sreet it's good stuff. But I think that when your at 7500 rpm with your big block roaring down the track you dont want a misfire,so you spend more.

Then there is the advantage of mutlispark which mopar ign does not have.Better cold starts and slightly better gas mileage are a reality with multispark,but it wont make more power.

I find that a good ign is more about reliability and getting the most spark to ignite huge intake charges,not making more power. You wanna make more power,well look at head work.
