msd coil for ls1/ls6 cars?? with some programmer due out too? what is this.. heres a link to tr's website with the msd coil for ls1's listed http://www.thunderracing.com/catalog...vid=3&pcid=103
and here is the article copied... someone tell me what this is what it does and how it might help my stock motor with nitrous... adding a fairly large cam soon.. any thoughts?
"Finally a performance replacement coil for the popular Gen III GM small block! This engine, most notably the LS-1 and LS-6, is fast becoming a favorite performance engine. But, not just in Camaros, the new GTO and Corvettes - also in muscle cars and street rods.
The complex electronic controls of the original coils presented the aftermarket with a challenge as the drivers that control the firing of the coils are built into the OE models. MSD engineers were able to design an advanced circuit that will operate with the factory electronics of the Gen III engine controls while producing a higher output spark. Not only do you get a higher voltage spark, but the coil will deliver multiple sparks! That’s right - multiple spark discharge coils! Notice that the coil has two connectors molded into the custom housing.
One accepts the factory coil connector, the other is for an upcoming ignition controller. (This controller is still in the development stages but it will allow you to program functions of the ignition.) The new coils mount in place of most factory LS-1 and LS-6 coils.

MSD's new coils are supposed to be out in March or April, and are supposed to be 30% hotter than stock. They have a small handful of working protoypes. I'm not sure if they are going to be worth it, we'll have to see. FWIW coils are that expensive they are not cheap.
