    For just fairground cruising and driving down the freeway (with 4.56 gears?) why waste the money on the MSD pieces when a stock HEI would work just fine????? Seems all the high dollar race car pieces could be a real bugger to get working correctly with the injection and all the computer stuff....... Maybe I'm just old or something, but simpler always seems better..

    Or, if you want MSD and want simplicity, get the MSD HEI. Just hook up a power wire and your set. The coil, ignition module, and all of that other good stuff are all contained within the cap just like the stock HEI.

    Oh, and don't forget a bronze gear beacuse you do have a roller cam: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...art=MSD%2D8471
