CAMARO6 - View Single Post - Are the performance gains the MSD has over a Ported LT2 worth it?

Im about to get ported OEM heads and the BTR 220 installed on my car. Ive heard the MSD is better for this setup but..... its super ugly to me. Im really big into keeping the engine bay pretty and with the LT2 IM you can have the cool looking engine cover and fit the CAMARO fuel rail covers on the side but MSD makes the engine bay look bad with everything on the sides exposed.

Was anyone able to make the MSD look good in the engine bay? would extra hp from the MSD over the LT2 even be noticeable?

The dream would be to keep the stock IM and engine cover and paint them or get them in carbon, but I know I'll be missing out on too much performance for that to be worth it. Really wish aftermarket IM designers would put some effort into making them at least a little less of an eyesore or designed them to still work with the OEM fuel rail covers.
