Default Best Ignition Setup?

Whats the best ignition setup for my car. I don't have forced induction or anything but I need a tune up so I figured why not buy the best I can get while I am doing it. Is NGK Plug wires good with NGK Iridiums? Blaster 2 Coil? How about a MSD distributor cap? Thanks!

If you're gonna be replacin' stuff I'd go with the NGK Iridiums, the MSD blaster SS coil and th MSD modified distributor cap. And if you replace your wires I'd definetly without a doubt go with the Magnecor KV-85 8.5mm plug wires. That is what I did but add a MSD 6a. It is the best replacement/?upgrade? (not really unless sh*t is tuned and what not) you can do. If you go to summitracing.com they have the best prices on the msd stuff and for the magnecor's the best place is optauto.com but the wires for the accord are listed under a different car i think the CL check magnecor's website for the part number then go from there. Actually the part number is 45216 but check first to make sure. Hope this helps if you need any help on the install PM me (that is if you buy the stuff of course).

I already have Bosch Platinum +4s in from a while ago and just bought some NGK plug wires. Now I have to replace the rotor, cap and coil. Also is it worth to get an SCI for a stock car. Just wonderin. Thanks

Well all the MSD SCI will do right now is improve throttle response smooth out the idle and maybe help top end sparking. (which I really like. IMO) If you do get a MSD CDI then go with the MSD 6a instead of the SCI. The SCI is a 6a in a silver box. Plus I think it costs more. If there is no difference in price then get the SCI since it is a newer model. I ended up asking MSD cause I couldn't see a difference in the two models. This is from the "MSD Tech":

The 6 a and SCI are identical. You will not gain any performance one way or the other. We had a large demand for a import label so we produced the SCI box.
Thanks,
MSD tech

Really I like my MSD, I would recommend it, but don't expect huge gains. LOL! Oh yeah, since you are replacing the cap, rotor, and the coil definetly get the MSD stuff since they will end up costing the same as the OEM replacement parts anyways.
