I don't know what ignition you are running but I like MSD. While on the dyno we switched from the stock Thunderbolt Ing. to MSD and MSD wires and picked up "believe it or not" 38 HP on one motor and 36 HP on the other. Made a believer out of me.

They were precut and assembled. They fit perfectly. I bought them from Summit. I'm running the Marine Pro Billet Dist, Marine MSD Box and MSD Wires. I couldn't believe the dyno results.

DUI Fire Wires. All numbered, shielded with a braided jacket that's heat proof. Good HD bullet proof marine grade equipment.
