I seen in Summit today where MSD has their new LSx coils out now.... $75/ piece

Anyone actually going to spend $600 on coils?

UNFAIR

im sure the most logical of us won't, but you know the old saying.. a fool and his money..

now, im completely willing to retract this statement if by some act of God these give you massive rwhp or something

Hi

I have put capacitive discharge (multi-spark) ignition on 2 other cars (big and small block chev) and it realy made a big difference in power, drivability and plug life. On my old 454 SS Camaro it doubled the plug life. I do not know anyone that is currently using these coils, but don't count them out just yet. I think they will be well worth the cost.

I also used to have MSD on a previous vehicle but that was the whole ingition box with built in rev limiter i paid like $200. $600 for just coils, that money can buy a lot of spark plugs

Ive seen them at ls1speed.com for only $60 a piece, that a huge difference in price when you have to buy 8

If there's no extra features to them, what's the point? Stock LS1 coils have proven to be badass, they're supporting low 8 second cars.

ah, but thoes apps used one large coil, and used the capacitive discharge to fire it off... giving off a hotter spark.

the LS1 has EIGHT coils.... so after it fires, it has about 2 revolutions of the motor to recharge before it has to fire again.

and theres zero cap to rotor gap.

and the spark plug wires are really short.




basicly its a system far more advanced and powerful then any MSD box. it has more then enough power to light off anything the engine can handle... so why the "upgrade"? unlike previous OE ignitions, this one isnt a weak spot.

There are VERY fast ls1's running stock coil packs. The stockers work well straight from the factory. I just don't see how they are going to be able to sell these things at such an outrageous price IMO, money would be best spent on other mods

Very true.

The most I would spend on them would be about 30 dlls each.

I would spend $30 for all eight.

Oh wait.....no I wouldn't. I'd rather make paper airplanes out of 3 $10 bills and throw them off the roof of my house.
