Default Performance vs cost
Would the hp gained by installing low resistance plug wires, maybe MSD along with comparable coil and distributor cap be worth the price? Have a 00 FRC that's stock. What is the cost of an electronic tune up on Vettes? Is there a good place for a tune up around Fort Worth - Dallas?

I don't see the need to change the plugs/wires unless it is just part of your regular maintenance.

Generally a fully dyno tune runs $400 - $550.
