I went that route before my MS install, with less than stellar results. I ended up having to use an MSD BTM (Boost Timing Master) with the EZL in its most retarded setting and this was when I ran 9 PSI. It worked but I didn't really like it, not to mention you'd need 2 BTMs with the 119's dual coil setup. Comparatively I'd rate the EZL+BTM a 2, and the MS ignition control a 99.

With an MS3 you could do a coil on plug setup using factory late 119 valve covers and coils, but honestly I've never considered that setup terribly robust. It would be pretty novel to have the sequential ignition but if it were mine I'd just have the MS control the stock 2Xcoil 2Xcap ignition setup. If you did go COP, it would be nice to swap the late exhaust cams and upper timing covers while you're at it, just to get rid of the cam seal in the covers not to mention gain a little extra room in what is likely to be a cramped engine bay once boost is made and routed.
