I installed a MSD blaster 2 high vibe in my N/A durring a clutch job last year, I installed the balast resistor as a safety measure, and have had no issues...

I was thinking about doing the same on my 951, but have other plans for it...

Any particular reason you changed a coil at the same time as clutch? I am doing a clutch soon (ok paying someone), and see no reason why a coil needs changed at the same time. But then again, maybe i am missing something (and if so I wanna do it to save future money).
