no issues, pretty straight forward and not much to go wrong. Both are good products and work well.

On a stock motor a 750 would be good, you could even do a 650 and it might feel a little snappier all around without losing much on the top end.

Ran a performer and MSD ignition on my 4.8 when it was stock. No problems.

What transmission are you running? If it is an automatic, what torque converter/stall converter? What rear gear?

With a stock converter, a 750 vacuum secondary is nice. You could run a mechanical secondary, but it might require rolling into the throttle at low RPM to avoid a bog.
