I think you'll find that most on here are running the stock Ford Electronic Ignition. For most all applications, it does a very good job in doing what it's supposed to do.

Unless you're running very high performance and high RPM, the aftermarket systems aren't going to buy you anything in my opinion.

The stock DSII is more than adequate below 6000 RPM.
