The ignition system will only produce as much power as needed to create a spark. The coil pack may say 50K volts on it, but if you only need 35K volts that's all it will produce.

Some conditions make it difficult to create a spark - forced induction, chigh compression, sustained high rpm's, etc. Those engine s can benifit from a high powered system. Essentially stock engines will see no measurable improvement at all.

As has been said, get a quality stock replacement coil and wires. It will save money, last longer, and produce the same results.

Only reason I ordered it is because my tuner said I was having spark issues, and it got rid of them so slight difference.

The wires do look bad-*** though.

Ive heard that SD is prone to dieing because of the heat under the hood (What electrical component isnt?) And that Motorcraft and Accel fair better.

Seeing how there are many mustangs out there with over 200k, I would say the Motorcraft is the tried and true winner here.

As for wires your might like Taylor 409 or Delphi...
You need to crimp your own though for the V6, the tool can be bought at SummitRacing, connecting boots can be bought all over.


Mmmmm Delphi FTW ****! lol
