I bought the msd 6520 (digital 6 plus) and the tach adapter 8910 eis. I installed my Msd and it ran like crap. i dynoed it and lost 30 horsepower to the wheels. i replaced my rotor, wires, and plugs and i gain a whopping 3 horsepower.

yeah, this isn't making any sense. Did you dyno it before you "lost" 30 hp? or are you saying you're losing 30 hp from the crank to the wheels?
btw, ignition doesn't really have THAT much inpact on hp |

It seems as though he dyno'd it after installation and saw that he lost 30 hp..

dude its easy he had what ever HP....then installed the ignition system and LOST 30hp (stock hp-30) then he changed the cap, rotor and plugs and got +3 hp....so do an equation.....stock - 30 + 3=X.....so basically with an upgraded ignition he LOST 27 horsepower

Usually people run a baseline to see what they're car has stock and then dyno it again after adding parts or changing ne thing, doesnt tell you much when you dont kno what u had and what u have now.

ok my base line horspower is 114 Hp with 125 lb pounds of torque, after putting the MSD on i got 84hp, so i lost 30 Hp then when i replaced all my wires, plugs and rotor, i got 87HP. sorry about the confusion.

He said he took it off in another thread, and the hp didn't go back up
to which I say to you Ivan, it wasn't the MSD, something else got messed up. Don't blame them man |
