New plugs and plug wires wouldnt hurt if they are old.
But you dont need any other ignition upgrade.
DSM`s have a very strong factory ignition.

I think so to, im putting so much money into this car, it should run so good when its done, rebuilt heads, new injectors, new fuel pump, new headers and turbo, new tranny computer (if i can find it) and a freshly rebuilt tranny, then im going tohave all the fluids drained and cleaned out, and refilled, brakes and tires were new before I parked it, but there still good, seeing how it hasn't been driven snice then. What do ya'll think? A good ride when done? If I stay with it (probley will seeing how i spent so much) Im going to lower it and do the intake and exhaust, any advice on that?

Go 2 1/2" on the exhaust, some may say 3" it all depends on your goals. I'm going with 2 1/2". As far as intake goes, there's not a vast amount of options. If your still going to be running the 1g MAS then your can upgrade the rubber intake pipe to a aftermarket one, if you decide you want to do the 2g MAS conversion same goes with that one. If you want to run a GM MAF then you can eliminate the 1g MAS, vent your BOV depending on where you install the GM MAF, and just run some regular intake pipe with a intake filter on the end. There's a few options as far as intake.

So far it seems your off to a good start. Maintenance is the key to these cars.
