Default Livewires and Coil Pack for 2005-2010 Mustang 4.0 V6

Possible mod for early spring....anyone think its worth it??? I should probably replace my spark plugs by then as well.

from what i heard around and from mike at big daddy, the stock coil packs are fine and the aftermarket ones sometimes will hurt your car more, i would look into it a little more.

read up on this thread. you gain a lot of power between 1500 and 3000 which is very nice since you spend most of your driving time in this range (well a NORMAL driver does lol)

first hand experience. you will run a lot smoother. and since you have like 33k? i mean its not like its due, but it will help since your wires are a few years old

Haha sure I'll show you. They've been in the car since I got it, but I can ask my dad for you if they made a difference since he and my mom drove the car before he did it. It seems to work nicely though
