Default Differences between automotive & airplane engines

My ignition system consists of dual MSD boxes,one fed throught the main
buss and the other fed straight from the battery. I run a Optima gel cell
unit that has 950 cca and can deliver enough voltage to run the ign for
hours.



Ignoring paperwork issues for the moment: Is this an ignition system that
could be easily(?) retrofitted to a standard Cessna 172 / Piper Warrior?

If yes, (guesstimating) what would the performance gains be over the factory
stock ignition systems they're running now? 1%? 5%? 10%?

Or is it mostly a reliability issue?
