If you are not planning any kind of forced induction it probably wont help much. It will basically just deliver a better spark.

research how a motor actually runs and then you will have a better idea of what to spend your money on to make more power. and from my experience ,no, an upgraded ignition system will not do anything if your running i/h/e. if u want a cheap way to make decent power research nitrous or a junkyard turbo. i/h/e will not satisfy most people with a d series motor. <TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by eyes888 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">tnx for the info 10cent........im not planning for a forced induction...but juz wana know too ....whats the spark all about????? will it make my car run faster???? better throttle response??? quick starts??? or what????.......tnx again!!! </TD></TR></TABLE>

Stick with the stock ignition system. Especially with your setup.

It won't help you.

Worry about an ignition when you eclipse the 400+hp mark.
