Some options for the optispark are Dynaspark, Delteq, MSD, or second gen GM stock replacement. When the time comes I'll probably go with the Delteq or MSD. I would say do the Meziere electric water pump unless you want to keep it stock.

Electric water pump is probably worth it yeah, itll be around the same sort of price or maybe slightly more, abit of stuffing around to wire it up and Rob's your father's brother.....

I don't see how it gives more hp, since it's driven by electricity which is produced by the alternator which is driven by the engine...so, it still requires hp. There is no free lunch.
Or free power?

Lots of hastle maybe(wont be that much of a hastle if the pump is coming out and distributor is being replaced), but then again, no pain, no gain....
