We’ve talked before about how the V6 mustang is often under appreciated. With more horsepower than many older GT models, six-cylinder Mustangs of nearly the past decade have been nothing to scoff at. As the model’s volume leader it’s also safe to say that without the little six-banger to sell to rental fleets, and those who can’t up the cash for a V8 model, there would likely be no V8 ponies to begin with.
If you own a V6 Mustang you’re probably aware that there is ever increasing aftermarket support for your car. Adding to that list now is Performance Distributors with their Screamin Demon Coil and LiveWires for the 2005-10 V6 Mustang.
Delivering the same high performance standard as their V8 components, the Screamin Demon Coil for the six-cylinder Mustangs packs quite a punch.These coils produce longer spark duration. That longer duration creates a more complete burn, and allows owners to open their spark plugs up to as wide as 0.065-inch in some cases. The more complete burn in turn helps the engine make more horsepower and often delivers better fuel economy. The Screamin’ Demon Coil also provides consistent spark output throughout the RPM operating range, something the stock ignition coil has trouble with.
That hotter spark also means that owners will need a spark plug wire capable of handling that extra energy. This is where the Performance Distributors’ LiveWires come into play. These wires feature heat resistant sleeving, and spiral wound cores. They’re custom fit, meaning they’re ready to go on the car right of the box, no customizing, or assembly is required. The wires are also numbered on the ends, taking the confusion out of installation.
In testing this simple bolt on upgrade of a Screamin’ Demon Coil and LiveWires improved the 0-60 times of the test car by an average of .33 seconds. That’s a significant performance improvement owners should be able to feel from the moment they step on the throttle.
Installation time should take less than an hour with basic hand tools, and the coil and wires are an excellent value at well under $200 for both parts combined. For more information on these and other Performance Distributors products, check out their web site.
