I went with Autolite platinum plugs and Ford Racing 8.5mm wires. I experienced a huge difference in MPG as well as fire up response.

If you're going to do a tune up you might as well go the extra mile and do the ignition upgrade.

That's good info for you that Forge World Ford posted above. The Ford Racing wires will serve you well. I've used them on everything from my mostly stock 5.0 liter beater to my not-so-stock 500hp weekend warrior and i've never had an issue.
