      Best Ignition for my needs??????

      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 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.
