If you don't have anything build a Gen III Hemi Nooo I have engine mapped out just no ignition. I had thought about the G3 but lost interest real quick!

Lots of MSD 7AL3’s out there for sale and they work great. I use them in al my race cars. MSD Blaster coil, and I usually use ultra 40 plug wires. Lots of guys switching to digital or Grid systems
Ohhh MSD distributor too

The MSD stuff seems to be the go to for most people. Depending on your budget, you could go with the 7AL-3, if there is more in your budget, the Power Grid system. I'd run a crank trigger as well.

When you say "grudge" car, I assume it has a power adder?
I use an old analog 6AL with the adjustable timing control box added and a dial rev limiter hooked to a recurved stock distributor.
Thinking about upgrading to a 7AL3, though....

Something like this to control you nitrous and T-brake might be a good idea. https://leashelectronics.com/products/single-stage-nitrous-boardI don't run any MSD stuff anymore but I would buy the baddest box you can afford. Most power adder stuff grows to more and more power and you might as well avoid buying twice.

Big power w/ nitrous...get the MSD grid system if you can afford it. If you need a little more of a budget friendly option, get the MSD 6AL-2 programmable (6530). That's what I did. For distributors I like the MSD pro billets, locked out, and use a crank trigger.
I also strongly recommend the Leash nitrous controller and their wiring board. Great working simple setup.

That one little box on the left replaced the 3 boxes on the right.

I use the Leash single stage board and it works great! It made wiring up the nitrous system super simple.

Most are spraying one big kit and using a progressive to control it. Less complicated than multiple systems.
