Ignition Management

I have an MSD SCI Sport Compact Ignition, I haven't installe dit yet, got it as a deal with a new clutch and wing. People have told me different opinions about whether I should install it or not.
Some say it's not gonna do anything much unless I have Forced induction, others say it will help even if I don't. I know how it works... but I've never used one.
So my question is: Would it be worth it to install it on my N/A Civic? (I have cold air intake, headers, upgraded exhaust, fuel pressure management, Adjustable timming.)

Also, what are your opinions on the CenterForce Dual Friction Clutches?

Install it, it will help even if you are just N/A. You may not notice a difference, but it should give you a better, more efficient burn and better fuel economy. Just get good quality wires as well.

Which wires are good? I have some blue NGK wires now. What about spark plugs? Coil? Some people told me u need a new coil/distributer cause it will burn out with stock.

might aswell install it if you got it...you could get a coil if you want...your wires are good..get soem new ngk fine wire plugs and gap them correctly....dual friction clutch have had issues in teh past...but the ball bearing PP is suppose to be better...the key to DF clutches is having the flywheel stepped correctly and to break it in easy and not beat on it...and to let it cool off after launching and abuse...so if you make a hard pass with a slipped launch then let her chill for a few before you go again...

Stepping the flywheel

"the key to DF clutches is having the flywheel stepped correctly "

Can you explain this further? I haven't heard about stepping the flywheel.
