Which coil packs for best spark(turbo app)

Are the truck coil packs the best ones to use or are the LS2/7 coil better for my turbo car?

19005218 truck coils are capable of 2500+ hp on methanol with the proper dwell control.

Dwell would be controlled by the engine management. I assume bs3 in your case?

I have the Mitsubishi truck coils part #12558693 which is better than Delphi, and you need bracket part # 12569188, you will need the wiring also, part # appears to be on a bar code is #208059. And Speed Inc has the proper Msd wires for this. This is for stock valve covers.

Unless something has changed that I have not heard about, getting msd coils would be flushing money down the toilet compared to truck coils, or even stockers. IMO. Not trying to be a smart *** ,so don't take offence please. Just info I read some while back from some people that I well respect. As well as what andereck has just said, that is probably more up to date than my info. Boone

I picked up a set on ebay for my sbc running "LS1 BS3" the part # is 12573190.
The local GM dealer sead they fit 06 Z06 trucks GTO's right down to V6 Malibo's.
Are these any good?

For those of you with the truck coils (12558693) what did you do about the harness? We have the Mitsubishi coils and we are using BS3 and they wont plug into each other.
