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.

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your BMW

If you own a BMW, the luxury German car, then we know you appreciate the finer things in life and want top quality performance out of your car and we want to help you do that with the prestigious array of performance parts available on our web site. Parts like those from the inimitable SPEC Clutch line with Clutch Kits from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the Mini Twin and in the SPEC Super Twin for the M6, M5 and M3. We know you don’t want a cookie cutter clutch but one that satisfies your driving needs and the stage selection of the SPEC clutch is determined primarily by use, rather it be for street use or more high performance use such as racing or autocross. and by materials used to manufacture the various clutches such as molded carbon KEVLAR, full faced Kevlar with steel backing, carbon semi-metallic on one side, carbon semi-metallic 6 puck sprung or not sprung, carbon semi-metallic with a double sprung hub, solid hub with 8 rivets or full-metallic disc- all decided by you, the driver. The pressure plate in your BMW is the driving force between your engine's power and the drive line and if you are doing intense driving you need a performance pressure plate like the one from SPEC for increased holding power. Another great product from SPEC, the billet flywheel exceeds the industry standard of .010 tolerances by a considerable amount with the .001 tolerance guaranteeing ideal balance and flat bedding and can be rebuilt and have a replaceable steel friction plate and they are a lightweight alternative to your factory flywheel.

Several estimable exhaust kit options are available for your BMW and one such brand is CORSA Performance, a renowned manufacturer of aftermarket performance exhausts. CORSA Performance features straight unrestricted flow mufflers and are available depending on application in 3 different sound levels to suit your taste. For example, CORSA'S BMW M3 exhaust system features a patented non-restrictive straight-through design resulting in the reduction of back pressure and freeing up much needed power all resulting in improved horsepower and torque. Since there is no drone because of CORSA’S own RSC Reflective Sound Cancellation technology, you never need to worry about the that annoyance just expect great sound.

Another very popular choice by BMW enthusiasts are the B&B (Billy Boat) exhausts which are made right here in the U.S. in Arizona. They feature 304 mandrel bent Stainless steel and come in several muffler styles such as the Bullets, PRT, and Fusion. B&B tunes each muffler to match its application for the best possible performance gain and sound quality combination. Billy Boat recently started to incorporate the PRT technology into all of their muffler systems. PRT Technology allows true straight through exhaust passage under aggressive driving, though a mellow sound is emitted at cruising speed thanks to the unique Purge Chamber. The use of two distinct packing materials and several S.C.C.’S inside the BILLY BOAT muffler enable them to create a harmonious sound that will have heads turning when you drive by.
