Sounds like you have some money to spend.

What do you run Jeff? Any luck running MSD 6a's? Is it even noticeable in power or would it be an upgrade to do after a bit of other work was done to the motor? I changed out my leading coil to a MSD Blaster 2 and it keeps my plugs nice and clean but no real noticeable gains in power(at least my butt dyno doesnt notice). I would imagine it helps in the fuel economy department tho and thats gotta be worth something!

i used an msd on the fc and lost spark efficiancy , gave the hot boxes away and put in a jacobs rotory pro pack and am loving it ever since.



might i sugjest a electric fan, specialy on a sa/fb car with pettits up grade on the ignition wich is a convertion to single wire for thoughs who havent seen it yet and racingbeat dual pully set up. you will have noticeable increese in power and love the throttle responce and the lack of the clutch fan noise so you can hear the motor .
