i'm looking at my to do list for my car and trying to figure out the priority of my upgrades. when should you upgrade to a multispark ignition? i have H/C/I done on my car with all stock ignition it seems ok to me but i plan on doing more to the car.
i have worked edelbrock performer rpm heads with the bigger 2.02 valves trickflow stage 1 cam, 1.6rr, cobra intake, BBK CAI, 70mm MAF, 190lph fuel pump bbk fuel reg. running 10:1 compression or so with the stock bottom end.

I plan on doing a 65mm throttle body, 24lb injectors, high flow fuel rails and a good dyno tune.
what do you guys think do i need to upgrade the spark before i do that stuff?

A healthy stock TFI ignition is good for 400 Hp N/A.

You can throw a MSD TFI Blaster coil on it if you're just looking for a little bling and bragging rights. Otherwise, like Hissin50 said, it's fine the way it is.

i figured it was reason i'm asking is i have a bad TFI module and the stock coil is original so i have to do some stuff anyway. anyone using an MSD 6AL2 looks like it would be nice for launching at the track
