I have nothing but good experience with the Jacobs ignition, excepting their plug wires, which I'm no long using. Great wires, just crappy boot design.
My MPG increased about 10%, and boost was ever so slightly higher and more stable after installation. Plus it's just plain cool using a $0.99 spark plug instead of $3-5 NGKs. Also, at stock boost, I could run as much as 0.050 plug gap with no problems, that's nearly double stock. Was getting about 36 MPG at that point, but went back to a much smaller gap once I upped the boost to the stratosphere. :)
Even if the Jacobs did nothing else, 10% fuel economy increase is nothing to sneeze at... but it does seem to also do at least some of what they claim in terms of performance.
