> You last item would be ignition: MSD-6 as an add-on to the existing

> many problems with them. MSD, SplitFire, Magnecore, Taylor...all make a

>
> Here's the cost breakdown for you: (All are rounded up)
>
> QuickD Intake: $150.00
> Muffler: $120.00 (Includes $60 labor for shop installation)
> Ignition: $120.00 (Includes the cost of a good
> plug-wire set as well)
>
> Total Cost: $390 - $400 for a decent improvement in performance.
