Damn MSD Ignition

Whats up guys i got a little problem. I installed my Greddy Turbo...no prob, then i decided to ugrade the fuel system so i bout a high flow fuel pump...no prob, then i decided hmmm lemme go and play wit my plugs so i bout some NGK V Power and i gapped them to make them colder...no prob, then i bought a MSD 6a ignition...problem. After installation my car's idle was jumping around up and down up and down, so i reset my ecu...bad idea. My car was having a hard time starting and then when it finally started it was having a hellova time stayin on. The idle is very very low. I kinda corrected the problem i turned on my AC. Does this sound odd to anyone? Helpful hints and tips would be much appreciated.

You can't gap a plug to make it colder, you must buy a colder plug. When you gap a plug over what is recommended is just gives the spark more length. Since the the spark is now physically bigger in should light more air, theoretically. Neways, with the ignition you can return to stock gap.

First to start diagnosing the problem: are you using stock coil or a msd coil?
