have you read any of this?
i wouldnt waist one penny on that "kit" imo its a common misconception that putting a different throttle body/carb and improving the spark will bring masses of power gains. i really think the main things are air/fuel flow and spark plug wires. then you could also have your ecm flashed for the add ons

My 86 with the emissions off, Flowmaster dual exhaust.  78 horsepower to the wheels. Don't laugh! I did put the 6al on, much faster  throttle response, quicker starting.  Maybe, I mean maybe, I might get 10 extra horses.  However my grad mileage increased.  Make sure to use iridium plugs!
