Ignition Add-ons

I want to get a little more power out of my 1989 F-150 4x4 Xlt Lariat. I already have a K&N FilterCharger and dual exhuast. I am in college and don't have a lot of money to spend for additional add-ons for a little while. I do not plan to replace this truck(used as a second vehicle) for awhile, so I thought about Ignition systems. I still have the factory(whitiker?)plug wires and I know that the engine needs plugs. Does anyone have anythoughts on cheap ignition upgrades?

Thanks
Evan

Ignition Add-ons

Someone recently posted here that Split Fires were great ONLY if you included their wire set when installed. I have never used Split Fire,but have experienced AC Rapid Fires.I do say that it was a noticeable difference over regular Autolite's.You said you wanted cheap so I won't even mention a Jacobs Ignition System,but they do offer a great ignition coil upgrade.

They (Jacobs) are great ignition systems. Probably the best there is! I was considering maybe a Holley Annialator or accel. I was curious to what you can get: Does a system replace the coil, wires, and ignition?
