Default RE: Expectations??

I got the car back this past weekend. It's been 100+ here in So Cal so I wasn't too impressed with the overall performance sucking in all that hot air, but once nightfell and it cooled it got wild. They dyno'd the car at 360HP/389fttq so I think i'm pretty happy. They still had a spark issue blowing out at high rpm's (5300) but i noticed it slightly lower than that. This weekend i'm gonna swap out the coil and put in an MSD ignition which should correct any spark issues? Does anyone disagree with that assertion? I'm also wondering, since they had to gap down the plugs, if I put in the MSD, wouldn't/shouldn't I re-gap the plugs back to where they were?

I'm updating here: I hate reading posts when they just sort of fall off without any resolution....

After installing the MSD ignition it COMPLETELY resolved the spark issue and the supercharger is wicked. I never knew what I was missing! In fact, now that i have the spark dealt with, i'm planning on taking it back for dyno, i'm pretty sure there's more left in it and I think we can squeeze out another 10HP.

If you put in an SC, i'd plan on doing an ignition as well.
