Default Coil and Plug and Plug Wire Suggestions

looking for suggestions for new plug wires and possibly a coil for my 86 FLHTC. i changed the wires out on my shovel and felt a noticeable difference in performance and hopeing to get the same with my EVO. im leaning towards accel wires again but wanted to hear what you guys thought first. also, what plugs are you guys running?

NGK Iridium 2115 / BPR5EIX-11 plugs, gapped at 0.041". Magnecor wires. Accel has not had the best reputation lately. If there's nothing wrong with your original coil, leave it alone.

If you noticed an improvement from plug wires, the old ones were bad.

i dont think there is anything wrong with the current coil, but the wires look original and im thinking its not that expensive to change them out and know they are good.
