Yep you do not need to upgrade the ignition nor will you see hardly any improvement in power from the money spent. You are better off going with a power adder, heads/cam/intake setup or something else that adds real power.

stock is fine even then. I havent heard of a point yet where a aftermarket was needed.

Plugs are the only thing I would upgrade. I think it is the only part of the system that I didn't really care for. As for wires unless the stockers are bad and you absolutely don't want to put stock ones back on go for the aftermarket ones.

Listen to Stangcharger this guy is really good. I have only been here awhile and can tell he knows what he is doing.
