Arrow ignition upgrade

hey guys,
i was wondering what options i have, in upgrading my ignition system in my 00 pro dx. I already have NGK plugs and NGK wires. would a Nology ignition coil amplifier work on my car, it not made for the car, but i've done it on my mitsu eclipse, and it wasnt supposed to fit. one more question, are there any performance ignition coils for the 1.6. thanks

why do you want to upgrade the ignition???...if there are any weak points to the 1.6L it certainly isnt the ignition...

first of all Topher watch your language, i had to censor your post...second of all you should have read his post...there were 2 bits of information in the post that easily tell you he doesnt have a 2.0...first he says he has a '00 DX..then he asks if there are upgrades for the 1.6L ignition...FYI in 2000 the DX was 1.6L only and above that there was no 2.0L option, the ES came with the 1.8L

I wanted to see if there are any options available, because i was going to purchase a fuel pressure regulator. so i firgured that i should up the spark if i was going to up the fuel.

not necessary to up the spark...it is quite sufficient, even for turbo applications...honestly i've not heard of any high horsepower 3rd gens that needed upgraded spark to run better or safer....and the fuel is rich as it is, so whats the regulator for???...by itself it will give you 0 power
