I too was wondering about ignition system. What kind of gains are there in upgrading it, if any? I know it starts quicker, but is that all?

The stock setup is great up to about 5500 RPM which is higher than any stock L98 will be spinning anyways. If you decide to go with a hotter coil though, make sure to get a low resistance HEI bushing to go with it.
