sounds fine to me. i just run typical borgwarner cap n rotor cuz its all the same copper contacts. the box (6a or 6al) is good for its multi spark and better faster starting and mpg increase.

If you've already got that setup then stick with it. If you were to get a different setup I would say to go with a set of Moroso cut to fit wires and some NGK plugs. The Moroso wires seemed to hold up better than the MSD's and the boots are better. They're a little smaller so they clear headers better and they also fit the plugs tighter for better contact.
