Sorry to bother you guys but had a question about optispark. I would rather ask you folks than the teenagers in other forums. I consider this low tech automotive talk.

I have a 97 Trans Am 5.7 l 6 speed. Need to replace waterpump and may as well do optispark. Will start PDX at Miller Motorsports Park in early April. Is there a "high performance" opti that is worth the cash or simply OE replacement recommended? Any brand and model you recommend for opti and pump? Where is a good place to do my shopping? BTW, I ran a search on this subject but could not find the specifics for my application. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I got both from Summit, but for the Opti, most likely (if it's going south) a cap and rotor is all that's required. If it's running fine, definitely only do C&R.
