all the distributor does is distribute spark. There isnt really an advantage to a performance one, idk how you could really improve on it where it would make a difference. Unless you used like more conductive metal in it or something but its most likely not worth it.

Those appear to be just OEM replacements.

Looks like they do have some high performance distributors (for $590 though!!):

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">

Distributor King Rich Porter High Performance Distributors

Designed to withstand the harsh environment of high horsepower applications and race cars, Rich Porter High Performance Distributors make more power and last longer than OEM and replacement units. These distributors feature chromed housings, clear caps, and solid brass terminals. They also come complete with an external ignition module and high capacity coil. The results can be as much as a 10% increase in power and a 20% increase in fuel economy.

i understand the brass contacts, however what does a chromed housing and clear cap do for performance ? It sounds like the only actual upgrade is the brass contacts... which idk about you isnt worth a few hundred $$$ more to me.

Yeah, you won't find me buying one...there are better ways to get spark for that amount of $$$.
