you didnt list what ur exhaust diameter was so ill assume stock... 3" intermediate pipe than a high flow cat, MSD 8.5 super conductor wires, accel cap and rotor, Norris Racing tech Heads (1200 bucks), then u should be MUCH faster than before, especially after the heads

That's where I've seen people do the MSD boxes too...however, a different alternative is the Accel 300+ box. From what I've heard, its every bit as good as the MSD, and its only 1/2 the size!! That would give you a better variety of places to throw it. I just picked up some Accel 8.8 wires, and I'm gonna add the 300+ box when I throw those on.

Hey, I can't blame you for that!! That's what got me started with Accel...I traded a friend a pair of Polk 4x6s for the new wires, and that's what got me started with Accel. Before that, I was gonna do all MSD as well. As it is, I think Summit sells the 300+ box and coil for $200, so its gonna be awhile before I get those.
