The msd coil pack is a waste and you might be messing up going with turboneonstore. I have heard horror stories about that place. I run a set of granatelli wires but I won't say they are any better than anything else. Do some searching on here and I am sure you will find every argument about every type of plug, plug wire, and coil pack ever made for these cars.

I have only heard bad things about the MSD coil. I stayed with my stock coil and it hasn't served me wrong yet.

In your application I would say nothing noticeable. It all comes down to resistance with spark plug wires. The lower the resistance the better the wire. Companies usually have it right in the specs for the product what the resistance of the particular material they use is. Pick a low one and you will be good. I think the granatelli wires have the lowest but someone may have found some new material that is better by now.

Stick with the stock coil pack, the MSD is garbage. Plug wire are a maybe, I have the Mopars and they are pretty good. The only coil setup that I would run would be the individual setup that DCR sells but I highly doubt you have reached the point of needing that yet. The stock one is just fine.

i have the msd coil pack,65,000 and still running strong,ive been down the 1/8th and 1/4 mile well over 300 times and i drive 140 miles a day and not even a bit of hesitation,was my first upgrade,but i have seen with my owns eyes the msd go bad and make our cars sounds like a fawkn subaru,seriously do the modern performance way to "300" it will get you really low 13's or even high 12's depending if you have the driver mod
