MSD Ignition
I have asked a question about putting in an Ignition System into the car before and really didn't get any feedback. Has anyone put in an aftermarket ignition system in their car? Is the GS ignition system already at its potential? Just curious as to why no one ever talks about ignition systems. I just thought of this because I found an MSD6AL lying around in my house. Any thoughts?

does your car even use sparkplug wires??? see I don't know much about the 300 but the 400 had individual coil packs so you couldn't use an msd in it....it's like having 8 distributors all electronically fired.

MC - I spoke with a rep at Jacobs Electronics about a year ago & he said that, quite honestly, they couldn't find enough improvement when installing one of their products ( Omni Pak ) to justify targeting the Lexus market. Pretty straightforward guy! Also, SRT doesn't change the ignition system even with the demands of their forced induction systems so the stock setup must be pretty stout.

Thanks Guys for the input. That is what I was looking for. So Lexus's Ignition systems are top notch, or give enough power already? Thats good to here. I guess that is why you don't hear to much about ignition upgrades here. Thanks

Stylin,
Thanks for the info. I think I saw a similar product like this on the speed channel. I look into this more. How is the trottle response when you installed this? Are you running TM plugs as well or just the stock plugs. Thanks.
