Default New Parts maybe what do y'all think

well with all the issues I have been having I have been on Summit a lot. I have been looking at ignition stuff and have been pondering the following components.

MSD SF Wires (got them already off ebay)
MSD Blaster Coil
Summit Ignition Box (like the MSD 6a)

Now where I'm having trouble is deciding on which cap and rotor to get. pa says to get any cap with brass terminals. I would like a more "performance" cap so I was looking at the Mopar performance one but it has aluminum terminals. i don't know if that would cause a problem withthe other stuff or not so for anybody that knows the input would be great. Also what do ya's think about my parts list?

I will also be getting new fuel injector connectors beingsI broke that one. Don't knowif this will solve any of my problems but i figured I would order a few things whileI'm at it to save me on their stupid handling fee

I run the MSD6A box with Blaster 2 coil and use the NAPA cap and rotor with Brass terminals. Some people on the forum here don't like the brass terminals due to corrosion issues, but since I run the MSD box I change the cap and rotor annually so it is not an issue for me. I like to keep my truck tuned up to the max as much as posisble, especially with fuel prices where they are.

What you're doing should insure a proper spark and good connections for your fuel injectors. With the spark box, MSD recommended I open the gap on my plugs further than the normal recommendation due to the higher spark. I've been playing with the plugs on and off and think that I'm close to .08 large than stock right now.

To use the MSD coil 8228 , you will also need the accel wiring harness # ACCEL 140021AH , but with coils you have a few different ways to do this but it will involve some cutting of wires..
