I went with them because I had difficulty finding Motorcraft direct replacements.

I'm currently looking at replacement options. Do you need 1 or 2 of these kits?

One set....I found same ones...only other option I've found is the Granitelli Wires...but at $300+ a set,I wonder what bang for your buck you really get....

I didn't see the value since only 8 of the plugs have wires to begin with...

Yep..seemed crazy to me too...and I really dont need any HP increases...mine is fast enough now..LOL...I'll use the $300 for 3 tanks of gas....

$300 is 75% of the way to a 93 performance tune

Yep...and with a Whipple SC on mine,dont even need the "tune"... I know there is a need for speed,but heck...you can only go so fast before before racking up some hefty tickets....Lucky for me,been pulled over 2 times since I bought mine in Jan. and both were younger officers and more interested in looking at the truck and asking questions about the SC..one even said to me,I heard these things are FAST..so better slow it down...K....LOL..!!

When I did my plugs I did Denso coils and Taylor wires. More of a reliability thing. Msd Now makes wires for the 6.2 black or red

Taylor makes a 8.5 wire set (in blue) for our trucks. I cant remember the part number, but really nice set and I think I paid $75.00

Are the cables really a point of failure or is it more the coil packs that go?

 

[Canuck714]

I think the boots on the coils fail more than the coil itself. Wires and boots are subjected to some extreme heat cycles with being sunk in the head and in between the exhaust manifolds. The rubber breaks down after some time.
