The first question is what are you trying to achieve; what are your goals for this engine? Spend some time to become familiar with your engine, and engines in general, before buying parts that may or may not help you reach those goals. These articles written by John Connolly (vwparts.aircooled.net) are a good place to start:

I agree with JV, MSD sounds like overkill for a 1600 unless you're restricted by some class specific race sanctioning rules (SCCA, SCORE/offroad, etc...).
