Ok guys I am gonna do a tune up and I am gonna replace the wires, plugs, and coils. Who makes good parts to replace the factory pieces?? and can you find me a link to the cheapest place to buy the parts. Thanks.

If your coils are not giving you trouble don't waste the cash IMO. I have the Screamin' Demon Coils and really couldn't tell you that there was much of a difference.

As far as plugs you could get the expensive plats or iridium but I've had just as much success with plan old copper. Most go with Autolites or Motorcraft.

Wires can be hit or miss but I'd at least go with 9MM. Better conductivity for a good spark.

Just replace with the factory parts. They are very good.

If there is one thing I have noticed..upgrading ignition parts such as wires and plugs is only good if u do it all out ..such as a complete msd system or what not..but I would think without alot of other mods such as higer flow injectors and such or maybe forced induction the stock ignition can keep up pretty well..
