Default Looking for better coils

I have an 05 GTO with an LS2, and i am looking for some better coils. Not really sure what to go with, i know i dont want any junk MSDs. Would a set of LS7 coils work and be an improvement? Thanks!

There is nothing wrong with factory coils, why would you want to change?

Aren't the stock coils rated to some 600 hp roughly? And way more durable than any aftermarket.

LS2,3,7 coils are all the same part number and there are no-better coils so forget about changing coils.

I thought the truck coils had a slight edge. However I don't see any reason for the OP to change his coils.

If changing coils go with truck coils, but I dont see why you are changing the stock coils.

If the truck coils are better, why don't GM use them on their ZR1 Corvette? Because they are not better.

I think you have a better chance of getting HP from Zmax than changing coils
