Now a question on ignition buys..
Heres one for ya. Jacob's Electronics ignition set. It's a pretty penny to get, but is it worth it? DO you get what you pay for? Also, is the install a pain? I hate thinking of paying $400+ for ignition that I may or may not feel or see at the track. What do you guys think?

mine was a hour install...very easy. I think they make the best product. youre gonna get a million msd 6 or 7al opinions, but I love the quality AND performance of my jacobs. Also, most of the other manufactorers use a coil that is not any better than the stocker (which is pretty good by the way).

If I were gonna give my .02 about ignitions, you know what I'd suggest (see my sig), but my opinion is that you save your $400 and make your next move a nice set of heads. The ignition won't help you at this stage of your game.

Ditto the last response. And jacobs is junk. About 90% of the feedback is negative, just like from cincinnati composites.

A friend of mine swapped from msd to Jacobs and said his performance or gas mileage did not change a bit. For the money if you are going to get an ignition I would get the msd. Another friend of mine who owns a mustang performance shop (HP performance) said that the Jacobs are junk; he knows his **** so I believe him. I have to agree with bada$$lx and texsn95.
