So far the performance coils have been just fine, however the factory Ford DIS ignition system is VERY GOOD and you only really need good plugs are wires, no need to upgrade the coil packs
The taylor wires are my favorite, they perform awesome for years and years. They will fit with headers, just get the 45 degree boots
They are some tough ass wires and they hold up to our under hood environment
Use plenty of heat shielding, careful routing and plenty of grease to keep moisture out

The truck is doing very good! The owner had an issue, for a while the truck had a slight miss and was throwing a trouble code for cylinder 7 misfire
injectors were replaced and then a compression test / leak down test was performed. Luckily the Jasper engine is fine................so what would cause cyl 7 to misfire? The injectors were checked, ignition was checked, cam sensor aligned, etc........ Finally a smoke test revealed that at high RPM the EGR diaphragm was allowing air past....the EGR valve was replaced and the code and misfire went away.

Last I hear the Ranger was blazing through the deep snow that Seattle received last week!! Another happy V8 Ranger being daily driven and put to work!!!

That is what this is all about!!
