Default Ignition Performance Gains?

Hello again, all. This may be somewhat of a noob question, but I am kinda (had my first bike going on a year now--a 2005 XL 1200C).

I currently have stage one done (air cleaner, carb rejetted andpipes). I am thinking about upgrading my ignition system and am wondering if I'll get a noticeable performancegain out of it. I realize it won't be anything drastic...I'm thinking of doing the module/coil/plugs/wires. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thanks!

The 1200 C already has a good ignition system in it. Correct me if I'm wrong but you have a dual plug heads and two coils to deliver single fire to each of the two sets with a 40,000 volt coil.....how does it get better. Try adjusting it
