Question Performance coil packs?

Is there such thing as performance coil packs for the 5.4?
I was considering installing the Bosch +4's but was cautioned by the parts guy that stock coils dont have enough whack to fully realize the benefits of the extra electrodes.

Is this BS or is there any truth to that claim?

Also I'd have to bet that the supercharged 5.4's (Lightning & Harley D. Edition) use a hot coil pack.

Well, considering that the spark can only jump one electrode at a time I think the stock coils are plenty good.
As far as I know the Lighting has the same coils as you do too. You might want to do a search on here about the Bosch +4s.
I dont think they are all they are cracked up to be.

Thanks!
I'll probably just go with a good Accel or Motorcraft (performance) plug anyhow, I cant see spending $6.00 per plug
