Default best bang for the buck

I have a 94 Gt 5 speed, the mods are listed in the signiture below. I have a about 700 dollars saved up maybe a little more and im looking to buy something soon. I want to get the MSD ignition system but also i feel like my car is loosing power for some reason and want to get some performance. I was looking into getting some 1.7 RR and maybe i will tell a difference there. Or possibly wait and buy both of these products in a week or two. Let me know what you guys think is best for my set up.. Just asking for some opinions..thanks

185's are good if you plan on using lots of boost in the future, but if you are staying n/a the 165's will make more power.
