Ive never had any issue on MSD digital 6's. Ive actually wired up a hand full of cars with them and no problems. although, i had a customer bring me a used 6 box and i couldn't get it to perform. I do sell & install more of the cap, coil, wire setup than boxes...

i've had a couple cars come in to tune with MSD ignitions. its a coin flip, sometimes i get no problems and sometimes i have to rip the entire MSD unit out. i would NEVER recommend an MSD unit to ANYONE! stock igntion ftw

Just something to think about. I Have heard of people having ignition break up issues with aftermarket setups like this. They couldn't figure it out, tried everything, so the loom was to blame in the end (shielding of the loom) So a new complete loom was made up and the problem went away. Weird aye! So maybe MSD just puts out a SHITLOAD of interference for the honda loom/ECU (i know its shielded anyways) but a guy i know remade his loom (better) than factory and the breakup issue went away. Think he MAY have been running coil in plug setup.

The caps are inferior as well. They corrode quickly and wear out the rotor due to the increased distance to the pole inside the cap..

I had see it 2 times on friend car...
