Default Best coil relocation kit?

Looking to relocate my coils since I'm getting nice valve covers to clear my roller rockers. Was looking at nasty performance relocation kit. The price is very resonable. Anyone ever use there kit or anyone else's and hue were they? Looking for opinions and suggestions thx.

I have it, and went through Hell to get it. Others have had the same problem. But the relocation kit itself is nice. If I was to do it again I would get something like the proform relocation

How do there custom wires fit. Are they a nightmare to to run so they don't burn on the headers. Did h buy there looms or heat sleeve options?

I like the Nasty kit but the mount brackets could be sturdier. I like the mount brackets CBM offers.

Those do look nice but won't work with ls1 style coils.

The wires fit good, and they're not a nightmare to run, but it does take so trial and error to find the best routing, and make sure to mark the plug wires at the coil end connectors.
You only really need to add heat protection covering to the coil electrical wiring, the only plug wire I found that need a protective sleeve is for the #1 cylinder wire for friction protection only. For that I just used a length of high temp. aluminum/fiberglass loom.

Do you mean they now fit the ls1 coils?

Also are extension harnesses needed if I mount them under the cowl or are they included?

Does anyone know where you can buy the unfinished ls msd coil set for a good price? I found nice brackets online for a good price but the wire sets alone cost as much as nasty performance entire relocation kit.

I had posted the wrong link at first, that's all. The link's for the LS1 coil brackets now.

You don't need harness extensions with mounting them under the cowl on a 93-02 f-body.

Have you tried searching in the Conversions & Hybrids section and Forced Induction section..?
I see noticeably more builds in these section relocating the coils off the valve covers.

Sounds like a good time to do the truck coil upgrade!

No point. My buddy's car went 8.30s with his stock ls1 coils.
