Our ignition system is good enough, those MSD coils won't make any difference at all, unless yours are bad.
How much money are you planning on spending?

For starters I would go with a CAI, pcm and a D/p you will feel a very good response from the car then go with some of the mods in my sig , they gave my GT some pretty good numbers for not a bad price. As for the CAI, its up to you FWIs are great but cold air boxs seem to be the easy to do. But just like zuul said how much money do u want to spend.
P.S- Is ok if its only a GT, with some of the right mods and ideas you car could be going just as fast.

Heck ya, D and I are the local board guys reppin' the GT's... his mods are great, any of those would be recommended... I would nix the cam idea because they are great but install is a PITA and will cost alot. Start with a cold air intake like others said, and then a new PCM, and a downpipe. Those will get you off to a great start.

There are many options available for the GT you just have to set your goals and budget,to start with cai, exhaust,and a reprogrammed pcm ect.,look in faq for some imfo. and ease up on GT's we can be plenty fast my pb is 13.92 n/a and with correct tuning and nitrous 12's are atainable .Chico.

GT's can be made pretty quick, not that they're very slow to begin with. They're just not as fast out of the box like the GTP. For me, thats a good thing, I dont think my right foot could handle a quick car.
