Christopher Jacobs Phd, the Doctor's Guide to Optimizing Your Ignition Systems is the name, IIRC. I have it, somewhere, a lot of what he says and does int eh book is still relevant. The specific parts recommendations might be out of date as those parts are no longer made here and as we all know the quality has gone to ... well you know where it went.

I believe Mallory bought him out a long time ago, then they got bought out and none of his proprietary stuff is available in the US, last time i looked you could get it from Australia. It was a neat concept that used the plugs as a sensor for the computer in order to tune the ignition.

Here's the book
