Ignition upgrade questions

Hey,
What can I do ignition wise to liven up my engine a little bit? I was looking at MSD's Blaster ignition PN 5900.
www.msdignition.com/ignition_1_5900.htm

Is this a decent model and will it fit the truck in my sig?

Also, is an MSD coil a good thing to go along with this?

Will these thing go together as a system?

I'm just playing around with this and would like to try this.

Thanks

I don't see any advantage to the system over the stock system. They both use the same technology(inductive discharge).

If you want any improvement, you could upgrade to the MSD6A, capacitive discharge unit. I have heard good things about this unit. Being it's a capacitive discharge system, you will get more voltage, plus it has multiple sparks at low rpm. The low rpm is where I am hearing people are happy with it.
