I am adding a B-pipe, ADA kit and MSD enhancer. My mechanic friend is doing work. Do I have to add the MSD enhancer? Can I save money by skipping it and adding a trim system? How much power will the enhancer add? I would rather have the trim system. Just curious. Would I save money as well by adding the trim system while he is doing all this work?

send your stock cdi to protec for the rev limit mod for 110 bucks. enhancers are a waste of money.

That is a waste of money when you can do it your self.

A MSD enhancer has timing advance built in. So it isn't just the rev limiter that is provided by the enhancer. If you are doing engine mods you might as well do the enhancer and then buy the parts to build a trim setup one piece at a time. The trim is only good for spraying your friends. You won't be back flipping with just a pipe and head so the trim is more of a play toy anyhow. I would have done the enhancer first. I think it is a noticeable "seat of the pants" feel.

I have always (to a point) shunned the idea of an MSD. I do not believe they will do much for a stockish boat.
However i myself finally added one on to mine, saying my engine is pretty much in its final form and this is how it will be staying for quite some time.
I must say it really tied everything together nicely, and was quite impressed with the results. But unless your already running a fully ported motor, some larger carbs, a lightened flywheel, a tuned B pipe, and higher compression, I would say its not worth it yet.

prop before the msd for sure
in fact id do the prop before a head or pipe... i put a new prop, grate and plate when i bought my superjet brand new in 04 before it even hit the water
need to make the ski handle right first otherwise engine mods are pointless

well...make sure u get the right prop for the right mods. buy your prop according to what mods you're doing, and if possible do them all at the same time. msd you can always add later when u save some fund-age

Whats the right prop for a race ski, with MSD, Bpipe, top loader, and Proks?
