Default Questions about aftermarket ignition systems on NA Honda

Do you guys think an MSD ignition would improve performance of my motor? Here is what I have:
B20/VTEC
Endyn Rollerwaves ( 12.5:1 compression)
CTR cams
ITR Intake Manifold
ITR Exhaust Manifold ( JDM 98+)
Headwork

I currently rate at 200hp at the wheels, around 152 torque on stock ignition pieces.

I have a MSD 6al with blaster coil & dizzy cap. Not too sure if it produced any gains in hp since I intalled the MSD system when I did my swap. If you have extra money than get it...just my 2 cents

I hear that upgraded ignitions improves throttle respons, not necessarily improving power on a mildly-tuned N/A.

what do you consider mildly-tuned N/A?

it should fire up quicker, idle smoother and give you better throttle response.

other than that you wont see any big power increase unless your stock ignition system is pretty worn out.

I recall back in the day, Weyland Jung (old timers will remember) said that the aftermarket ignition did great things for his idle.
