If you are keeping the stock coils, HKS.

MSD Digital 6a Plus on two new Blaster coils for the leads is a good setup. What I'm using on a TO4s at 15#.

Trails are on the stock system.




What he said if keeping the stock lead coil

How do you plan to run a new fuel system without a programmable ECU?

Just get the HKS and call it a day.

With your mods, there's no reason to even touch the ignition or fuel systems. You are far from requiring upgrades to either.

You shouldn't need an ignition upgrade at this point. If you are having breakup, your problem is elsewhere. Start with the basics like new plugs and oem wires. The aftermarket ones fit like crap. If that doesn't help check the coils. I have run 20 psi on a healthy stock ignition system with race plugs with no breakup.

You "need" one when your igition system is working properly but you are still getting iginition break up.

However, I've known people to install them on relatively stock cars and still notice some benefits.
