It is better for me to pay down the principle on my land loan, which is at 7%, rather than put it in the markets and make less.

Speak for yourself; I am sure not everyone on this site is a financial retard. I put money towards my 401k every paycheck, and put a decent amount every month into savings. Once we hit a certain figure in savings, it starts getting invested into real estate.
...we just are not dropping tax money straight into investments.

Hate to break it to you but msd coils are actually tested to be worse than stock, bosche sparks are awful in these cars, and bigger wires aren't really going to do anything unless you have a really intense setup. Nice headers & hood though.

You can ask any of the big guys around here (bluegtp, bio, etc), msd coils are a downgrade from gtp coils. And as far as the plugs go same thing everyone on here steered me away, even my mechanic back when I took my car to a normal shop told me bosch plugs were problematic in the 3800 motor. Never tried ngk myself, I use autolite.

If you are concerned about performance use the copper plugs when boosted.......(autolites are recommended by most) and the MSD coils have been tested to put out less voltage than the stockers...the stockers on our car are pretty much the best that you can get for them and most do not replace them unless going for looks or have something wrong with a stocker.

Well I get a lot back this year, but spending like $2500 on the car. $1500 of that will be performance parts, $1000 (hope less) will be on appearance and body related stuff.
I want to move, have some money saved not tax related for this but furniture wise, I moved about 18 months ago with not a lot, so getting nice matching adult furniture would be another $1500.
The rest I'm sure Ill eat away at by going out to eat(!), shopping, household items.... stuff that I can't afford on a weekly budget as well I as have liked to in the past.

Yeah just keep the stock coils, maybe clean em. And if you want a spark plug upgrade get Autolite 104s.

use the money from the coils and get that 3.4 after header install.

Yeah looks like you've got the mods for it, just make sure you get 104s, colder sparks are the last supporting mod you need.

just done my tax i'm really disappointed on how much i'm getting back
. last year i got over $2k back. this year only getting like $900 cuz i made more than last year. i didn't know they put you in different bracket just b'cuz you made more $$ i always thought the more $$ you make the bigger return you gonna get back. the only advice my tax guy told me to do is claim 3 more on my w-form this way not so much taxes will be taking off my pay check.
