Default Ignition Upgrades

Just curious, has anyone ever installed any ignition upgrades such as Jacobs or MSD, etc. Would it be a waste, is the GS ignition system good enough? What do you guys think about it.

Very good question, I've wondered that myself.

I'd expand the question to include finding out if anyone has tried aftermarket performance plug wire kits like Blue Max or Accel (if they even make them for the GS).

The HKS Twin Power Ignition monitor is highly recommended along with the Iridium Spark Plugs.
