You can get a msd 6al for that price but thats about it. Or go with cranes hi6 box, it is dial adjustable rev limiter instead of msd pill style. I like crane's better. If you throw in a little extra get yourself a coil to.

Because it is capable of handling the revs of a stock motor. The only reason really to upgrade is if yours is shot and you have the cash to waste, are building a higher reving car, or just have a motor you think is worth getting a new one for. The MSD cap and rotor is a nice upgrade along with a aftermarket TFI module. Other than that leave the dizzy alone.
