I running a rebuilt 455, Edelbrock performer rpm set up carb (750cfm) to cam with a new Billet high performance HEI distributor from Jegs (says it produces 50,000 volt spark through 7500rpm. It has a High perf. adv curv, coil, and cap with brass terminals. My question is would I benefit more from adding a MSD super HEI kit from Jegs with a MSD 6AL box (p.98) or should I just go with a MSD 6AL box. the price is about the same, but do I need all the Super HEI stuff with my current distributor? Thank you in advance.

I would say no. However, if your dist is one of the early ones, then it most likely has the mr.gasket/moroso type weights and center cam...100% junk. Deep 6 that and go back to a set of stock weights and center cam( use the chart I so graciously made for everyone). No need to spend even more money. That is not to say the msd is not good, because it is, just not absolutely necessary.

Sun tuned. Thanks for the info, but where is the chart you were talking about? I couldn't get it to pop up.
