Re: Quick-D vs others, Exhaust upgrades, Spark upgrades(long)?

Air intake: the Mopar is overpriced, it's a relabeled K&N assembly. The
Airaid uses a 90-degree bend, seems restrictive to me. I have a QuickD
and love it. Intense Performance has a "cold air can" that's supposed
to improve the performance of the cone-style intakes/filters. Don't
even bother looking at it.

Plugs: oh boy, here we go again. Sift through the archives on the DML
homepage; it's not a thread you want to get "fired up" yet again on the
list - talk about high-volume!

I plan on getting a supercharger next year, but until then I want to get a cold air intake of some sort. Has anyone tested the Quick-D intake compared to other intakes, such as Gen II, Air Raid, Mopar, etc...? I'd like to see some dyno print outs comparing the different intakes, but that may be asking too much.

I was thinking of getting Mopar or JBA's. I also want to put in a new free flowing muffler. I'd like to get a nice low mellow rumble at idle and a slightly louder growl during accelerations.

I was thinking of getting MSD wires, since I'll probably need a MSD ignition w/ retard capabilities after I add my supercharger. Has anyone tried Taylor, Split Fire, Accell, or Summit wires? What kind of plugs should I run?
