I just got finished installing my blaster 2 coil. I think it really smoothed out the idle and acceleration. For $45, I would have to recommend this to everyone. I will try to get some picks up later when I get a chance.

Wow, upgrading the ignition so late?

This should help a ton though to back up the looks.

Nah, one bar of boost does that just fine.

MSD went in with no hitches, and it's AMAZING how much smoother the idle is.

Damn I just put the SS in last weekend, the canister is better? Im not sure the difference but I know you dont need a resistor with the SS according to MSD, dont see why you would with the 2.

Very cool. Woud you mind doing a write up on the correct wiring and colors please. I'm interested in doing this as well. Also, what engine dampener is that? Same as the sr? and where did you mount it to the block?

Its not a direct fit, by any means. It will require fabbing an adapter plate to be welded to the mounting bracket, then modifying the internals of the damper to shorten it in length. Ill take it all apart tomorrow and take some pics. Aside from the welding (which i didnt do), its really not too difficult.
