Dual Leadings...
ive been thinking of swapping my trailing spark plugs and coil for leading spark plugs and coil.. so i can have 2 Leading Coils which would mean using 4 leading spark plugs.. is there an advantage to doing this or is this a bad idea?
please help me out, i want to improve my power just wondering if this will work or not

This is a very bad idea. The trailing coils fire at different times as they are two coils controlled by one igniter, the leading coil pack is a single coil with two outlets that fire at the same time. Additionally running four 7's (leading plugs) is the opposite of what you should be doing, with any of the boosted cars you run four 9's (trailing plugs) to take advantage of the colder heat range.

You do realize that you don't need to change coils to change plug heat ranges.... right?
Easy enough to fix. I'm more concerned about the ignition FUBAR'ing the motor

Gains will be very minimal.
What you're proposing will not work....in the way you're thinking. Keep it stock configuration. I ran 383whp on a ego busting mustang dyno on a bone stock ignition system - so its not holding you back.

MSD and Crane are also superfulous items. Been there, done that. Then again, I'm not the all out racer like the rest of you who have significant modifications like removing the airpump.
I've gone through what your going thru now. At one time I installed a second Lead coil assy. It spliced the wires to it from the stock wiring for the original coil assy. So I had one plug fed from one lead coil assy and the other plug fed from the other lead coil assy. The second plug wire from each was just joined to gnd. That worked for several months with no problems, but it obviously didn't do squat. After that I bought the Crane Cam FIREBALL!!!!! Had fun installing it, but again, not worth the cost in my opinion.
So. That's what I think about that. Big deal. The money would have been better spent on a RTEK2.1.....but that item didn't exist at that time.
Hmmm. Can't wait for you to ask about SAFC's.
