First off, I've gotta say that Paul Yaw's got a hell of a sense of humor.
I'm just about crying after reading what appears to be serious technical
data on the surface that's yet lightly littered with colourful metaphors
like
"suck", "sh*t", "damn", etc., along with other terms like "bean counters"
and "grocery getters".

In the mean time, however, I am intrigued by what he's laid out to discuss
about the MSD boxes and what have you.  On my current 13BT platform,
I still run the BUR9EQ (non-platinum) plugs with a Jacobs 'Energy Pak'
box sitting inbetween the leading ignitor and leading coil.  Of course, I
bought the Jacobs box when I didn't know squat about them.

Anyhow, I would like to further understand some of the reasoning behind
this stuff instead of the 'hey I've got ignition modifications -- spark plug
wires and these kool new plugs I got at Pep Boys!' kind of thing.

I suspect when Paul Yaw gets back from where ever he is 
racing he will clarify.
