MSD coil pack upgrade on an R50 cooper?

Iv been thinking of booking my cooper R50 into GTT to get it remapped. But iv been seeing a lot of people fitting MSD ignition coil packs with Magnecore leads and NGK Iridium spark plugs mainly on R53's and a few R50's. so got me thinking is this a worth while upgrade to do before remap and will it make much of a difference on an R50?

you've just been cooper'd

Done it on mine mate, makes it run better rather than a noticeable performance increase. I would'nt say dont do it, but if your looking for more horses, then I would look elsewhere first. If you looking to spend a fair bit of spondulux on it, then I would do your remap last!
i.e from experience, Manifold, high flow cat + Cat back system will free up lots of torque, defo 1st on the list! decent air feed, CAI, MSD'S + Iridium's etc etc, then remap the bugger!
Hate to plug, but Ive got a ported & Polished cylinder head going on classifieds here, looking at 10-15 BHP from that with a decent cam!
Hope this helps mate!
Otherwise..do as I have done.. all the above mods..cooper S Internals..running and 8psi Turbo kit Running 182Bhp.
Cooper's can provail! Honest!
