The stock ignition works great. It will easily handle the power that you want. My ignition is stock save for an MSD Blastor Coil($50). I'd keep the stock cap n'rotor, but get better plug wires. The Ford Racing wires work great and are reasonably priced.

Forget the ngk's, stick w/ motorcraft. As for the coil, get a crane fireball ps91. msd coils are shyt!
