Ok this is a noob question but...

What are the pros of a ignition system and is it really worth the money?

Thanks
David

i am trying to figure out that same question, but i about to recieve a Balaster 2 coil for now, because my idle sucks. But if you do decide to go with a full ignition setup, a profesional install is recomended, and GO ON EBAY.....

Basically the ignition system boosts power a little bit by providing a more powerful/longer spark than your standard setup. By doing this, more fuel combusts, creating a more powerful explosion, and therefore more power. Now, is it worth it? Probably not. While you'll see gains from it in almost any application, I don't think it's really worth it until you've done a lot of other stuff to your car. For the money you can do much better... Until you run outta stuff to do. =)

And never, ever, ever go on ebay. Ever. Not even for something as trivial as gauge faces. Ever. Nuff said

correct, ignition is not the first thing you sould do to a car other than maybe a $50 Coil. remember, even the most expensive ignition box system aint going to add NO MORE than 10 HP, if that.....
go here, this is good reading....

do other basic mods first.

HXCivic97 summed it right up. Buying an ignition system would be a huge waste of money. Hondas have EXCEPTIONAL ignition systems stock, you know "if it's not broken, don't fix it". I have a buddy who put a msd system on a 99si that has a 75 shot on it, and he says the only improvment he noticed was that it started quicker. They are nothing more than eye candy for a unmodified car. Once you start pushing some serious numbers, then maybe consider it...
