All other more "cost-effective" modifications will tend to burn MORE gas (bigger carb/cam/intake/etc...) which I do NOT want on a car that already burns 15 mpg and turns out only 150 or so horses.
My personal opinion is that it is not worth the money. I have an MSD 6AL box (not the stacker) on my 350ci in my 91 Caprice. It is most likely compatible with your motor as well, but I did not notice much of an increse, and this motor does have considerable modifications. I doubt it would add anything to a bone-stock engine. I am not sure about fuel milage, but several b-body enthusiasts who have installed 6 series MSD boxes have actually noticed a slight decrese in 1/4 times.

Anyways, im straying from the subject. I would save the money, and not get the MSD box.
