Help with shopping list for tomorrow

Well, most of you have seen my multiple threads with my little annoying problems on my car. Tomorrow is pay day, therefore the day I go shopping for my car. What do you think I should get for it to have it running better or to gain power at all?


My list as of right now:
Cap
Rotor




(I just changed PCV, wires, plugs, air filter)

Depending on what type of car this is, i would think of a 180 first. 160 can screw with a unmodified factory computer. 180 seems to be a happy median between the 160 and 195. I have a 180 and i have no issues.

I already put a 180* in it, and I do have a fuel filter that I haven't had time to replace yet.
