With stock or PROcede boost levels and stock rev limiter they do nothing.

When you start running HIGH boost or turning HIGH rpm's sometimes the stock ignition cant keep up, or the spark gets blown out. This wont be a problem for a while.

Also you should be able to get a new ignition box and coil on plug setup for close to that price. Which makes a "booster" like this, pointless at this time, and overpriced at any time.

Not nearly as needed in coil-over-plug type ignitions, they are very helpful in a distributor and spark cable ignition though.
