How much are you looking to spend in total? Maybe by shopping around you can get
yourself more than one upgrade.
The superchips would be good in case you have the deathflash
1.7s are like a poor mans cam
The cap and rotor you can get without it being a major investment. If you think you need
one than I'd stop at your local parts store tomorrow.
