97 5.4 tune up

Thinking about doing a tune up on my truck.

I figured I would go with:

motorsport plugs
motorsport wires
stock cop's should be fine right? (120,xxx on the clock)
just did an oil change

I was going to run a can of sea foam through prior to doing the plugs as well.

Anything else I could do?

The 5.4 doesn't have wires - just cops.

When I do a tune up on one of those engines, I replace:
*Plugs
*Ignition coil boots
*air & fuel filters
*MOTORCRAFT PCV valve

Replacing all 8 coils is a high expense, I usually replace them only when
they malfunction..

Good Luck!
