Key Features:

The MSD 6-Hemi Controller offers a comprehensive suite of features tailored to HEMI engine enthusiasts seeking enhanced ignition control:

• Direct connection to coil packs, crankshaft, camshaft, and MAP sensors for seamless integration
• Capability to modify the ignition timing curve for optimized engine performance
• Programmable two-step rev limiters for launch control and engine protection
• Nitrous oxide timing retard function to safeguard engine components during nitrous use
• Boost/timing mapping to adjust timing based on manifold pressure for forced induction setups
• Compatibility with both stock and styled coil packs found on late-model HEMI engines
• Support for carbureted retro-fit engines, allowing coil firing and timing control on classic HEMI builds
• Separate wiring harnesses available for specific vehicle applications to ensure proper installation

Construction & Design:

Built with MSD’s reputation for durability and precision, the 6-Hemi Controller features robust electronic components designed to withstand the demanding automotive environment. The controller’s compact design allows it to be mounted conveniently within the engine bay, while its direct coil pack connections reduce wiring complexity and improve signal reliability. Engineered to work seamlessly with factory sensors and ignition components, the controller ensures consistent and accurate timing control under all operating conditions.

Installation & Fitment:

Installation of the MSD 6-Hemi Controller is straightforward for those familiar with ignition systems. The unit plugs directly into each coil pack and connects to the crank and cam sensors, as well as the MAP sensor, eliminating the need for extensive rewiring. Because wiring harnesses are sold separately for each vehicle application, installers can select the correct harness to match their specific model and year, ensuring a clean and reliable setup. This controller is compatible with the following vehicles:

• Chrysler 300 (2005–2008)
