Ignition suggestions

Hey guys, i have a 12a that is bridgeported/racing beat intake and header/holley 650cfm 4brl carb/holley blue fuel pump. I need some ignition so this thing will rev and fire good. I don't have time to search sorry or i would of plz dont flame me but anyways i need some good coils, a good dizzy, and some plugs and whatever else you guys can suggest. I would prefer msd stuff because i can get it through work at wholesale. I want the motor to be fully capable of revving to 11k when i get it where it will make power there. THanks!
cliff notes-(this car has stock shitty ignition, need good stuff!)

My brother talked to the guys @ Rotary Performance and they said you "could" run an after market ig. amp through the stock coils. How much performace compared to other after market coils? IDK, prob not as good, but I am going to try this. I also have a 1/2 bridge ported 12a and just got a Jacobs FC1000, not installed yet though. Anyone else running a Jacobs amp?

Revving to 11k? Correct me if I am wrong, but I don't think you'll make power/rev that high on a bridgeport. I thought that was only Peripheral porting territory. My car pulls pretty hard up until 8800-9k and the power starts to drop off after that. But then again, this is w/ stock ignition, mods in sig.

Reving past 8.5k takes some serious engine mods, during the rebuild. If these were not done, have doing the new rebuild.
