About MSD

MSD is not a newcomer to the aftermarket ignition system industry, having gotten its start back in 1970 and now part of the prestigious HOLLEY family, the recognized leader in the fuel system market for more than one hundred years and repeatedly represented in the most eminent races in the racing world. The company had it start in research and development attempting to create a lean burn fuel system that they named the ELECTRASONIC FUEL INDUCTION SYSTEM and they were hoping that with this they would be able to improve fuel economy but there was a problem with this discovery. The new system was too lean and it could not be ignited by the existing electronic ignitions and that led to the decision to start thinking about an entirely new ignition system using capacitive discharge that used capacitor discharge current to the coil to fire the spark plugs, originally designed to eliminate the long charging times required by high inductance coils. MSD used the problem at hand as an opportunity utilizing the capacitive discharge’s ability to spark multiple times, they designed primo ignitions using the high energy spark from the capacitive discharge to ignite their previously developed lean fuel mixture concurrently improving the engine in a multiplicity of other ways; such as better starting, smoother idle, less emissions and more power and thus started MSD on the road to success. Rather than being discouraged by their original problem and giving up they looked on it as a challenge and now can tout the fact that they are the ignition of choice of the top professional drivers in a potpourri of racing venues. MSD has grown over the years not only in reputation but in size as well with over four hundred employees and a top-of-the-line facility of more than one hundred fifty thousand square feet but they have never lost sight of their original goal to make your car’s engine perform better whether you are driving on the street or on the track. The MSD LT1 AIRFORCE Intake Manifold for your 2014-2016 Corvette C7 and your 2016 Camaro SS is just one example of the sui generis products from MSD with its exclusive bell mouthed runner entrance you will see not only an increase in airflow but a minimum of shrouding as well while contemporaneously making the best use of the plenum volume for an unobstructed flow path and it doesn’t get any better than that. And MSD didn’t forget about the small things that make a big difference in your Camaro’s performance but designed the Superconductor 835 Plug Wires with their inimitably low resistance so that you will experience less loss in spark plug energy and that means that the majority of the energy goes where it should – your car’s spark plug- and this all translates to a better performing engine. Peruse the parts below, including MSD plug wires and intake manifolds and choose the one that will improve your car’s performance at a competitive price.
