is the factory ignition good enough?

[Foreman72]

so i'm looking at rebuilding my 318 and bringing it to about 400+ HP...now i'm wondering if i would be best off getting the mopar factory electronic ignition or should i step up to a mallory or MSD package? what about the coil? i think new factory stuff should be fine...any thoughts? thanks

yes is good enough for street/strip car. MP parts are a good upgrade from strictly stock parts. If you want a better upgrade an MSD dist is a better jump from MP distributor and more worthly than the ignition modules.

what I mean is if you want to upgrade by parts and compairing them, the distributor upgrade from stock distributor ( or even MP ) to MSD is more worthly and effective than the jump between Mopar ign module to MSD ign module. Thats mainly because if you get an MP distributor NEEDS to be revised/checked carefully before mount. MSD dist is more quality piece from the box.

I think the MSD ign module is a worthly upgrade on a 10-12 seconds car. Will worth the $500 average price, but for street/strip car, $60-70 MP box is MORE THAN ENOUGH really.

Somebody made a comparision table on Moparts between several ign modules on street and on race measurements and diference was not noticeable for the price



Modules opinion is about just why I read. The dist opinion is by my experience.

 I agree with nacho-cheese. Mopar electronic ignition is all you will ever need.
