It always impresses us when a company is able to effectively solve a technical barrier, and in the process ends up creating something that not only works, but solves other problems as well. MSD Ignition was developed to solve a weak spark condition that presented itself when Autotronic Controls Corporation (MSD's parent company) invented the lean-burning Electrasonic Fuel Induction system, which was designed to improve fuel economy. With the MSD unit's capacitive discharge design firing off multiple sparks during combustion (MSD stands for "Multiple Spark Discharge," by the way), not only was the lean air/fuel mixture able to ignite, but it also improved starting and idle, and it also created more power with fewer emissions. Today, MSD Ignition is considered the undisputed leader in the field of performance ignition parts, and offers everything from individual ignition components to complete systems.
Q: What is a starter? Why buy one?
A: Starters are large electric motors that allow you to spin your engine over to get it started. If you have a high-performance motor it puts extra strain on the starter because the added compression in your motor makes it more difficult to spin over. While a replacement OEM starter may work ok for a stock application, a performance vehicle requires a performance starter to match. High-torque starters are available with gear reduction drives to spin your engine over faster without drawing as much current from your battery. This means faster starts and less wear and tear on your electrical system. In addition these high-torque starters are lighter weight providing an additional performance advantage. This is one upgrade that has no real down sides, so when it comes time to change your starter take a look at one of these high-torque units.
