Ignition upgrades?

What ignition upgrade(s) have you done? I recently installed the PILO upgrade kit (coil, wires, plugs) and I'm really happy with the results.

Moderate power increase, but the main difference is the smoothness and less power dropoff at higher RPMs.

I bought this kit because my MCS had a misfire problem. It solve the problem and helped eliminate the rough idle

I'm very happy with it and recommand it!

P.S.: I have the colder plugs kit to fit a 15% pulley... Mooman9j9, which kit do you got?

Same here. 15% Alta pulley and the colder plugs. Good combo!

I originally installed the Pilo ignition system in an effort to help with the STUMBLE of my '02 MCS. It helped some, but what I noticed most was that the engine ran smoother. Since then, the stumble was fixed and I added a 15% pulley, as well as the GIAC chip. If you want really smooth.....an ecu upgrade is the way to do it!
