Hey Guys and Gals - Anyone use this kit? Is it worth it? It's time for a tune-up and I was wondering if I should splurge on this or use the money elsewhere.

Performance Distributors Fire Power Ignition Kit Worth It

I have the kit on both my 94 Cobra clone and my 95 GT. How much of a difference you notice depends on the condition your ignition system is in now. On one that's in good shape, you may not feel much. What I mainly noticed is that the engine now pulls hard all the way up to redline. With the stock parts, acceleration tapers off a bit as you get in the higher RPM's. That's my experience, anyway. I have never put the cars on a dyno, so I can't say exactly what I gained. But IMO, the kit was well worth it. If you're looking to save money, I would buy at minimum the Screamin' Demon coil. I noticed the biggest boost with that one part alone.
Chythar - I am going to order once I get back from Cancun so that the parts are not sitting outside my house or at a UPS location. What did you gap your plugs at for the kit because I saw in Performance Distributors that you can gap all the way to .060 I believe? Also, do you have any tips for the install? Is it as straight forward as it looks?
It is completely straightforward/ To replace the TFI you will need a deep socket 7/32, I believe. You can pick up a "Ford TFI tool", which is the same thing. I did gap my spark plugs at .060. I could swear the engine was a bit more responsive afterwards, but that may be wishful thinking. As for spark plugs, stock autolites are fine. I've had trouble with iridium and other fancier plugs.
