Question OK, I just installed an MSD 6BTM...Is it working?

Most people agree that with my setup w/ supercharger (please read signature) and my high mileage, I desperately need an aftermarket ignition system. So, I installed the 6BTM.

Is it working? I sure as heck can't tell. May be I need a dyno or 1/4 mile run to see but I sure can't feel any difference.

Does anyone know how to tell if it is even working? Multimeter? Which wire? There is no light on it.

Thanks.

9 times out of 10 you wont feel a HP gain... thats not why they are there... they are to produce more spark so you dont lose HP... so if you just got it and you have no HP gains dont fret it.. did that model come with a rev limiter? if so, that alone is worth the money.

Yes, a rev limiter and boost retard control. As soon as I get a timing light (and figure out how to adjust my timing) I'll start bumping up the timing and use the boost retard.

I'm hoping to see some more ponies with this purchase.
