Default Ignition System?

Would an ignition system(MSD, Crane, Jacobs) be worth getting for an S2000? I have an APEX'i V-AFC my friend is giving me soon, so I will have A/F ratios tuned, therefore not needing a new ECU for this, plus the V-AFC(with my friend discount) and an ignition system would be cheaper than a Spoon or Mugen ECu plus it'd be optimized for 91-octane gas. So, would I see any gains, benefits, or anything else form an igniton system? Thanks!

I doubt you could use one of those systems on the S2000. Your best bet is to get a Greddy e-manage unit instead of the V-AFC. It allows fuel and ignition tuning.

Don't throw money out. Just buy DENSO IK24'S They are the best.

I have heard that the aftermarket ground wire kits are good for a pretty noticeable increase (someone said 7-8, but i believe more like 5-6)

A magazine tested the ground wire kit on a 2002 Honda S2000 with Intake and Exhaust. The dyno showed a 1 WHP increase after several tests of different grounding points. They say the increase is greater the more modified your car is.

And I say the grounding wire kits are worthless crap. Do a search for my handle and ground wire for my review of their review. These guys actually tried to measure rwhp down to the hundreths place I basically debunk all myths but one in there, but it's an amusing story which part they actually got right.
