I run msd's but any of the low resistance wires didnt work right with stock ignition. I run a crane HI-6R now and now it works correctly. On stock ignition it ran like garbage misfiring just going down the road. For stock ignition just get the motorcrafts. you wont be sorry. As far as the cam, cant say but it should move the powerband up, but you still have the IHI, so it wont help as much as you would think. Search turboford.net for jon(mr. IHI). He's gone about the fastest of anybody with an IHI. I think hes running in the 12's or low 13's, but hes also running 24 psi and stage 2 or 3 boport cam and one of boports port jobs. Also IHI's dont last long at 24psi because they seem to disintegrate everything aparently. He's been through more than a few.
