Unless you're making a lot of power and have reached the very high limits of the stock ignition system, you aren't going to see any worthwhile performance improvement from an ignition amplifier.

i'd recommend a CDI box if your heart's so set on upgrading ignition parts. If you want to get a bigger fuel injector, you'd better have intake/exhaust/boost to match. Otherwise, you're just running rich = loss of power.

People run stock ignition on 400+hp motors...

Why would you want bigger injectors if it's stock?
