Bur9EQ...the stock trailing X 4. IMHO, 10's and 11's are too cold, unless your doing circuit racing.



Really you'll need to get some type of ignition Amp and aftermarket leading coils. I run a twin power, Cosmo 13B trailing coils and some snazzy dazzy AE86 leading coil.

I'm planning on using a MSD 6A just for the leadings. What do you guys think?



I heard the leadings are all that really matter anyways so no point paying $400 for the Twin Power.



MSD 6A can be had for less than $100.



Let me know what you guys think, thanks!

Any dual post coil should work fine for your leadings. Get something that can fire it(MSD 6A I think will work) and have good plug wires. Also the Jacobs unit kicks ***, but you really need good coils to run it.
