MSD 6A ignition upgrade
iv always been interested in adding one of these to a vehicle but never really knew what they do exactly and how they help the performance of the vehicle. I have my fathers bday coming up and he has 08' F150 4x4 with a 4.6L. he has put a super chip programer cat back exhaust and added a 3" lift with 35" tires i feel that it doesnt have enough power behind it and this MSD package seams like a cheap upgrade and would like do it for him and as well as myself i have a 01' 5.4L F150 4x4. If anyone has any info please share. thanks in advance.

A 6A won't work on a vehicle with coil on plug ignition. It is meant for vehicles with distributors only. You'd have to move up to their DIS-4 system, and from what I gather, you'd have to run two of them in tandem, plus buy a number of adapters to work with the individual coil on each plug.
Not to mention, you will see zero performance gain with an aftermarket ignition with a coil on plug ignition. The coil already delivers a pretty hot spark, you'd have to be running a large amount of boost or very high compression to derive any benefit. Or, if you were ditching the stock ECU and needed a spark control system.
