Are the after market coils worth the money on a bolt on motor???

I have 70mm cobra MAF, pulleys, Tmoss ported stock intake, thermactor “bumps” removed and gasket matched stock heads, 1.7 roller rockers, ceramic coated Ford shorties, Magnaflow catted H and MAC cat back. Or should I put the cash in a 65mm TB and EGR plate?

I also assume that I can't get much more out of the engine without going to larger injectors from the stock 19lbs.

You'll certainly get more bang for the buck with a TB. Injectors may or may not be necessary at this point. Tough to say for certain though it looks like you will likely need them shortly. Beefing up the ignition system really isn't needed until you either add boost or mess with the timing significantly. A good rule of thumb is 350 hp.

I would at least get a 70mm T-body over a 65mm. You have a 70mm MAF, so why not? You will have to port the opening of the stock intake to maximize the T-body. If not it will still be choked off.
