MSD TFI Blaster Coil

Im gonna probably be buying one of those coils for my truck, my stocker is lookin realllly beat. I also just bought some high quality low resistance wires. I some have questions

1. Can I run this with a stock distributor & rotor??
2. Are there any performance benefits from this upgrade??
3. What should I gap the plugs at??

1. yes you can, but MSD cap and rotor will be cheaper, and will handle the increased voltage a little better.
2. maybe slightly better fuel economy
3. I'd gap them only .002 or .003 bigger than the stock gap.

You will benefit from faster starting also. I'm running a .060" gap on my plugs with the MSD coil and it works fine.
