Default Coil on plug question?

Hello,
I am putting in a 100 shot of N2O and I am putting in NGK tr6 spark plugs in my 03 GT. My car has about 27k miles on it. Since I am putting in spark plugs is it worth putting in after market coil on plug? If so whats the best bang for your buck and is there any recommended for a N2O setup? Or just keep the stock ones?
Thanks

If the stock COPS are working fine, I'd leave them alone and spend the money on more productive mods.
I would suggest you install a SVT Focus fuel pump with that money instead. Your stock fuel pump will be close to maxed out supplying fuel to your 255rwhp plus another 100rwhp on spray. You definitely DON'T want to run into a lean condition with spray!

I am running my stock COPS with the mods in my sig and everything is fine.

My understanding is that any aftermarket COP's you buy are essential the same as the ford stockers, maybe with a bit more of an amperage draw. I believe I have read that some even come from the same source as fords OE COP's. I believe CliffyK has something on here or on his website about it, but I cant seem to find it...

According to CliffyK, the only ones that are different are the ones by WeaponX I believe, but I understand they are being revised due to longevity issues in high heat envronments. The main difference with these being they do not have the spring in the boot and have more of a "Direct Contact" with the spark plug,and perhaps (Dont quote me!) reversed polarity..

Hmm good info. Im not having any problems with mine so it looks like I should just leave them. Fuel pump on the other hand.... Didnt think about that. I will look into that more. Where is a good place to get that fuel pump for a good price? Also thanks for the info steve prob wont be a bad idea to check his sight out.

The COP Info article in the "stickys" has just about all you need to know about COPs...

I got my SVT Focus fuel pump from O'Reilly's for somewhere around $60. You do NOT need the entire fuel pump assembly. Just get the replacement pump itself. It drops right into the factory basket.

Do you need to take off the Fuel tank? How hard is it to put on? Can u post the link for $60 at O'Reillys? Thats pretty cheap. Lowest I have seen is 95.00
