Default any suggestion on coil packs for an 2003 Mustang?

i just notice the other day that livewire came out with a coil pack for the 99-04 3.8's and so did accel. i was wondering if anyone has bought them and how they performed.

Unless the old one's bad then yeah.

Unless you're building an engine with a LOT of boost.

What's your idea of "building up an engine"? this could be from adding UDP's to a stock engine, to pushing 35psi of boost.

This kind of information is needed if you plan to get a worthwhile response. If the car will be stock to mild, stock ford coils are actually very good.

Buy a house if you don't already own one... then spend money on the car. A house in a much better investment.

That's not terribly expensive -what's your budget?
