You don't need them even with heads/cam or even forced induction. They are a waste of money, unless you want them just for looks. $600 for red coil packs is not money well spent in my book.

I am skeptical too. Here is the proof that we would need.
Engine dyno with and without the MSD packs with all other things equal
Efficiency with and without.
All of the advertisments leave us hanging. You get to the end of the sales pitch on these little jewels and it says "notice the second electrical connector, there is something else in the works from MSD"
perhaps this something else will revolutionize coil on cylinder design. Probably not but I'm deffinatly gonna hold on to my money till they are worth it if ever

They're just an expensive appearance item. The stockers work fine, but if I had nothing else to blow $$ on, I'd consider them just because they look pretty good.

If there is definate proof that they work, post it. I am most likely going to buy these, waste of money or not and i will post what happens.
I knew there was going to be somebody that was gonna argue. There always is. Show me one LSX powered car that needs these! I am not saying they are a waste of money, but for $600 your money can be spent elsewhere. They are not needed!
I believe Casper went 6s in the quarter with the stockers. Camnhawk went 8s on motor. Jugger went 10.29 cam only. Magnus went 10.99 stock internals.

Out of all the things you could buy for your car, I'd say these are the biggest waste of money. 
$600 for a smoother idle??? The stock ignition system is about as good as it get's, and is overkill for even the faster cars. This is one mod I'll never understand. 
If I was looking for bling, I'd rather spend it on new wheels.

Im not trying to argue. I wish I did have some proof but i dont, and thats why im still on the fence. The only reason i would buy them is because someone has to find out if they work or not and 600 for me wont break the bank.

It seems that everyone who has bought them or had the money to THROW at them has been rather happy with the outcome, I know of one personally. Granted they are a high dollar mod. And yes that money could be spent else where but to each his own.
Price is dropping have seen them as low as 480.00 now still a chunk.
Lets here some feedback from actual owners of them.

I would NEVER invest in them. TONS of people have reported that the truck coils have a stronger spark, wonder why nobody spends a few bux and upgrades to those? Maby because the stockers kick ***?
