MSD Coil Pack Upgrade

I'm looking at swapping in a set of MSD coil packs this weekend and I was wondering what wires worked good with those, and what kind of spark plugs mustangs like.

Autolite 764's gapped @ .054 is what I used before the headswap. Im using NGK tr-55's gapped @ .035 now after the headswap. Ive been wanting to get the MSD coil packs. Let me know how they work.

What kind of heads did you put on it? What are some good 4.6 heads?

they arent worth it. they are mostly for looks. there is really no gain from them unless you are running a lot of boost.

the best heads for a 4.6 motor are ported stockers as there is no aftermarket head.

i have msd coilpacks but it doesnt really improve too much in the performance until you start adding hp. but i found the taylor 409 race wires work good with them and they last a decent amount of time. the reason i say the coilpacks are worth it though is that the stock ignition isnt that great in the 96-98s but the 99-04 ignition really doesnt need to be upgraded.

I running the MSD 4-tower coil packs and have zero complaints. I'm also running Taylor 8mm wires and NGK TR55 plugs.
