Default Coil

What is, if ANY, with a stock engine, to go from a standard ignition coil, so say a MSD performance coil except the pretty red color? About a year ago i installed a new BWD Ignition coil, on Oreilly's website its part number is E92.
I see they have in stock the MSD Ignition Street Fire - Ignition Coil. Any advantage of swapping to this over what I have with a stock engine? doubt it but thought I would toss this out there. Also, with a stock engine, running standard Motorcraft copper plugs, I installed new new plug wires at the same time as the coil. Any advantage to upgrading the wires to something else? Again, I am thinking not, but again throwing it out there.

Must have got your tax refund If its runing good leave it alone. A coil and plug wires arent going to gain you any thing as long as the parts you have are working right

Tax refund, to replace a $40 part? LMAO, good one.
Just going through and replacing parts, bad, questionable, can improve on over stock in some circumstances. Simply doing some preventative maintenance, improvements etc... Wasnt aware it took a tax refund to replace truck parts.
