Assuming the coil pack is in good working order then he has nothing to worry about.

Use stock plugs or a stock plug replacement with good wires and a 0.045" gap and it will hold 14psi on our 10:1 compression turbo motors. This I've tested on 2 different 3.0 duratecs that I've owned and a stock ignition system with cheap autozone wires as well as AlliedSignal brand wires and stock wires.
If anything the wires are the weak link in our ignition system as they get old, so far nothing else.
