Any ignition's systems goal is to provide a perfect spark at precisely the right time - for as long as possible to completely burn the air/fuel ratio in the combustion chamber of each cylinder. Complete combustion of the mixture produces more force to push the pistons down on the power stroke , resulting in improved performance.
MSD Ignition has produced the best performing and most popular performance ignitions for over 20 years. The high energy spark of the CD (Capacitive Discharge) design combined with multiple sparks resulted in a potent ignition. Not only does the multiple spark discharge (MSD) ignite the lean fuel mixture, it makes overall improvements in the engine's performance! Improved starting, smooth idle, less emissions and more power are benefits every car and truck can take advantage of, especially race cars.
Professional racers learned of the new MSD quickly and soon word spread throughout the racing world. Since then, MSD Ignition Controls have gone on to be the ignition of choice of the top professional drivers in NHRA, IHRA, NASCAR, World of Outlaws, DIRT, SCORE, IDBA and many more.
