You'll gain an adjustable 2-step rev limiter and a few other adjustable features, but performance wise..... I'm guessing NADA. LemonWedge - Street heavy / Strip ready - 11.07 @ 120

If you think there is something to gain there, drop the gap down .005 and see if it helps. If it does, I would be considering new wires, cap rotor and plugs before a new box. 8..603 156 mph best, 2905 lbs 549, indy 572-13, alky

As far as going to a digital 6 the only thing you may gain is some headaches. After getting stuck several times with mine I sold it all,I have heard of several people having problems with them.

I have also heard the new digital boxes are not a serviceable item. If it goes poof you can stick it in file 13.

The bigger boxes do have more features though. I had bad luck w/ 2 different MSD Digital 6 boxes, sent em back and put my old 6AL back on.
