whats the difference between an MSD ignition box and a diablo super chip? do they do the same thing? if not, what are they? if they do the same thing, whats the diff between them?
An MSD ignition box is an ignition system that creates spark for the sparkplugs in the engine.
I haven't looked at the Diablo super chip, but I am assuming it's like all other chips. This is IC(integrated circuit) chip that plugs into your engine computer and changes the values and parameters in the computer, so it makes different calculations of the amount of fuel and timing the engine needs.
The MSD is hardware. The chip is basically software.
Well, sometimes they piggy back the MSD box onto the stock system to boost the spark, and other times they do replace the whole thing. It depends what factory system it has on it.
