^well i have never heard of someone gaining that much power from a full MSD ignition let alone just a blaster coil and cap. i would guess that maybe your internal ignition coil and cap/rotor were probably junk. for the most part unless you have seriuos mods an ignition gets you a tad better mpg and a more consistent spark at higher rpms which may help you .1 or so in the 1/4 mile. there are people running mild turbo setups on stock ignition. i think that says something about honda ignitions.

have you run your car at the track? i have seen SI's with stock or bolt-ons run between 15.5-16.2 in the 1/4 mile. GSR's with a capable driver are a tad quicker. the best i accord i have seen was a 16.2 for 95 5sp Ex coupe with just an intake. the best they can usually run is a high 15. if you smoked them, then i would venture to guess they are sucky ass drivers or your a car driving god. the race should be very close and if they are good drivers should spank your ass once they get on the hi cam in 2nd and 3rd gear.
