lq4 coil swap yeilds definite power increase
so i had some lq4 coils laying around, and figured id give it a shot since i had to take the coils off to replace the header gaskets due to them leaking.
since mine is a 98, i dont have brackets. each coil is bolted directly to the valve cover. since the truck coils are longer, i could only get one bolt in each coil. im not too big of a fan of it, but after the test drive i really couldnt care
there is an unbelievable power increase, and throttle response. i cant tell you how much of an increase, because my car has never been dyno's but its very very noticable.
its a cheap, and noticable power increase
one of the threads i read, someone did a back to back dyno test
one run with ls1 coils, one run with lq4 coils.
there was a 18rwtq and 10rwhp increase with the lq4 coils
after my test drive, i believe it!

I found no results after switching from the "weak" square truck coils to the hot "round" truck coils and back again.
Other sponsors have claimed no results on dyno tests.
Personally, I would like to see back to back track passes or some other testing to remove placebo effect.
