I had a guy that works for a Domestic mag tell me the same thing. They work but their technology and design is archaic. he said to check out some other ignition...drawing a blank at the moment. I know he said HKS was really good but $$$.

I am not trying to question your credibility but it might help if you give a better reason why no one should use their stuff. Maybe a example of the problems you have had with them. Giving a example would back up your argument a lot better

I have no experience with MSD products and am curious to know more about why you have this opinion

I had some problems when I first install my MSD system on my Mr2. It turned out to need a special ignition module convertor($15) to work with my car. So I put one in and go on my way. Then I shut the car off and it wont start...turns out my MSD was alittle too close to the engine and the heat would affect it. So I move it and only get the wont start problem occassionally. It turns out I had the wrong ignition module convertor (or whatever the thing is) and it would mess with my FI signals replaced that and havent touched it in years runs great.
