Well even when my brain is focused on work and other things it seems to be multitasking Fusion Sport performance ideas in the back ground.
Back in the day we had points and condensers, we did add-ons for higher energy spark then came electronic ignition but we still swapped out for bigger coils and spark boxes. Today we have COP and I was wondering if upgrading the coils would help overall performance. With a little digging I found Accel and MSD make coil packs for the F150 2.7L engines (according to RockAuto same part number as the Fusion Sport) and are touted as higher energy, better spark, better throttle response, better efficiency. This continued my pondering of the question if we are increasing boost and changing fuel curves and ratios via a tune wouldn't we want a better spark for the optimum efficiency? Can these after market coil packs actually gain us HP/TQ and MPG?
I found this video on the subject for NA cars but why wouldn't this also apply to our TT setup?
The other part of the equation for me is the spark plugs themselves. When we boosted compression in a NA motor we ran cooler plugs. Wouldn't this also be the case for the increase boost we are pushing into the little 2.7?
Just my brain wondering out loud...
