Best Ignition Upgrade?

OK I need to upgrade my ignition. my sig has most of my mods. so with that info what are the best parts to get?

i want to upgrade my:
plugs
wires
coil

i was thinking msd everything. blaster coil, 8.5 wires, the 6a control box and ngk plugs gaped at .050.
my question is.....
WILL THIS HELP? WILL THIS SMOOTH THINGS OUT? WHAT IS EVEVRYONE ELSE USING?

i'm not looking for more hp, just better use of what i have now.
please let me know what i should use. i don't want to have to buy more crap later on. its so much easier to do it right the first time
thx DAVID

I would use the AC Delco +4's (he he since that's what I have)
the 6AL ignition, blaster coil, and the MSD 8.5's.

There are better products out there but alot more costly, that's the same setup I plan on goin with. And I have heard it helps smooth things out specially in the mid rang RPM's....

An aftermarket digital ignition would not be beneficial on a stock car, since the stock ignition is so good to begin with. Only time a 6AL or 6BTM would be useful is on that of a blower or n2o car, in order to retard timing. You'd also need non-platinum, colder range plugs (such as TR6s).

I'm using TR55s with excellent things to say, and Taylor 8mm wires.

You can change ur Rev Limiter with the 6AL

That's kinda beneficial...it can't hurt, and if you decide to go with a blower/N2O later on, you're already set! Besides, more mods to list
