New spark plugs and wires

I just installed my PRJ performance ignition wires, and MSD blaster ignition coils, and NGK V-power spark plugs.
No bloody knuckles!

thank you guys,
i put in the tr55's. to those of you trying to knock on the blaster coils, i am a union electrician, and have been in the trade for ten years now. i am going to order the

Again, you guys that think I wasted my money on these coils, are probably going to tell me that i am wasting my money on the ignition too, right?! well, you guys are entitled to your opinion, and i respect that, but i know my electricity! i learn more and more about it at least 5 days a week too. i am very happy with the look and outcome of this, these wires are so fat!
the bottom line is here, i will have improved idle, starting, and throttle response, so again, how is this a waste?

here is a little better shot

It not so much a waste, as it's not necessary. There's big debates on the actual improvements of the msd coils or if they are an improvement at all. Fact of the matter is that they really are just for looks or personal satisfaction. Some of the fastest and I believe the fastest gtp's run stock coils with upgraded wires and the appropriate plugs.
 


nothing beats hard, tested facts. I don't have the link, someone post the test results for the MSD's vs. stockers.

^^^i believe that, but when i ordered my wires, i didn't mind ordering the coils, as i can afford to buy useless things that look cool.

Hey, not gonna knock ya. I ran MSD's on my Impala and when I wrecked it I put them on the new GTP. I just recently went back to stockers for a cross country trip because I didn't want ANY stupid problems while I was 3000 miles away from home with no tools. I actually got the same gas mileage as with the MSD's so I'm keeping the stock ones on there. Wonder if I can get a couple bucks out of my coils for anyone that wants MSD's My biggest gripe was the logo's are facing the wrong way lol.
 
^^^haha, that's what i was thinking, but whatever. i'm sure somebody might be interested in them, i think they look way better than the stock ones.

how much you want for them
 


i want to get some ported exhaust manifolds, a new throttle body, a new maf sensor, larger injectors, and a new pcm at the very least, before i drop the pulley size. i don't want to **** up my motor!
correct me if i am wrong, but i only have a short ram intake setup, and new spark plugs with bigger (10.3 mm), better ignition wires, and have made sure all fluids and what not are correct and changed when due. wouldn't i be replacing the block if i tried to cram more boost in it as is?
 
Ported manifolds? Headers are cheaper in most instances and are WAY better of an application.

Different throttle body? You can't get a different one, you have DBW.

New MAF? Why? A stock one works great, especially since yours is external already.

Larger Injectors? You don't need them until sub 3.2" pulley sizes.

New PCM? You have to get a PCM from a '04/'05 Supercharged car and have it tuned...because if you get yours tuned the gas gauge will read backwards.

Yes, though. More boost with no flow mods = noobish.
 
i'm in southern california, and all i have found is The Other Guys headers, which apparently had an OEM number on them until 2002 i believe. i am not doing the swap headers **** for smog, i did that with my 96 trans am 3 times! f@ck that madness! plus, i will be happy to run low 13's, which should be able to be reached with PEMs.
when you say i need a pcm off of a 04'/05' SC car, why can't i order one online?
tell me more about this please.
