I have a sbc 383ci in my Impala and I am thinking of stepping up my ignition. Here is what I am working with now.........

383ci sbc

AFR Eliminator 195cc street heads

230* int 236* exh duration @.050 and .510 int and .520 exh lift

Speed Demon 750 with vac secondaries

2 1/2 exhaust with block huggers

air gap dual plane intake

Proform? HEI ignition with new petronix coil and module

700r4 with a 3100 rpm Edge converter

9" with 3.89 gears and 27 " tires


The car is 99% street driven and was wondering if it is worth stepping up the ignition to a box or something? If so what one?

Im not expert but I know that an MSD 6al would probably help and would be probably cheapest and easiest route to go.

I'm using an MSD 6AL-2 right now, have had it for 2 years now without any reliability issues. It even survived THIS (https://www.pro-touring.com/showthread.php?64019-Morris-Seat-Belts-Invest-in-your-Safety) accident and still works like a champ. My Camaro is 99% street driven; the box definitely helps. Cold starts are literally a half second turn of the starter and she's running. Cruise and idle are smooth. I would definitely recommend it.

P.S. My engine combination is VERY similar to yours.
