MSD PRO 600 CDI Ignition and Coil Kit - Red Coils
$2499.95
Introducing the High Output version of MSD's PRO 600 CDI 8-channel Capacitive Discharge Ignition Kit (8008-8HO). Replacing the extremely capable 8232 coils, the 8280 High Output Ignition Coils take this kit even further than the tried and true 8000-8 Pro 600 Kit. Available in red or black, the 8280 coil has the goods to back up its aesthetics. With increased peak spark current, overall spark energy, and greater thermal efficiency, the 8280 is the perfect complement to the PRO 600 Ignition Box. Designed for coil-near-plug engine management systems such as Holley EFI, GM LS platforms, and most other EFI systems, the PRO 600 is also capable of easily converting any distributor type ignition into a coil-near-plug system.

When you're making extreme cylinder pressure with boost or nitrous on an inductive coil-per-plug ignition, lack of spark energy means you're leaving horsepower on the table. To answer this need, the ignition experts at MSD developed the PRO 600 CDI to provide unrivaled spark energy and dependability. The PRO 600 has built-in protection for accidental reverse battery connection, over temperature protection, and LED diagnostics that can identify an issue with individual coils should a problem arise. A programmable power setting allows racers to switch between 250 to 400 millijoule outputs, or the industry-leading output of 680 millijoules via an activation wire or software. What does this mean? Turn it down for the long haul and then set it to kill mode at the strip. This makes the PRO 600 ideal for a Drag Week style car and really any no-compromise vehicle.

Who is MSD Ignition?

MSD Ignition started back in 1970. Based in El Paso Texas, the company is known for creating quality ignition systems for various automobiles. Today, they are considered the leading company when it comes to the ignition system and has become a brand recognized all over the world.

Changing the Way Vehicles are Made

MSD has helped shape the automotive industry by being the first company in the world to conduct an experiment regarding Multiple Spark Discharge for a vehicle’s ignition system. It has been suggested by Engineers who were working on the White Sands Missile Range in Southern Mexico. They noticed that their quest for power is limited by the amount of spark the ignition system can only generate. Hence, the idea of Multi Spark Discharge.

Racing Application

Soon after the product introduction, racers started applying it to their race cars. Due to its success, other top teams started using MSD which helped paved the way for the brand’s popularity. The majority of the race engines today use MSD and have proven to produce race champions.

The company operates in a 100,000 square feet facility in Texas. They house some of the most state-of-the-art equipment that helps them create products that are superior in quality.
