I wouldn't get them until you are pushing at least 500 RWHP. I doubt you'll see much of a difference.

Hi

I put them on my car with only Mac headers/Y pipe/Borla and K&N intake. I got the following results:

engine idles and runs smoother - felt like a new set of plugs
a little more torque
lots more throttle response
looks cool under hood.

You can feel a real difference. My LS1 revs faster and smoother. There are most likely other mods that will give you more HP bang for the $. But I have to figure the reduction in vibration is good and it will also be easier to get my car through the local sniffer test.

I have used capacitive discharge on SBCs in the past and always gotten good results.

stock "truck" coils and new gto and vette coils have been proven at 1200hp.

msd is overpriced, and not needed IMO.
i couldnt stand the glare of all the red under the hood anyway.. even if they were free. id have to hit um up with some flat black spray paint.

if your on a budget just buy them one at a time

i say that should be one of the last things you should spend money on...when the stock ones don't work anymore, or if you're pushing a lot of power and have the cash then go for it...

Hi

Lots of opinions from people who have never tried them. Do a search, everyone using them is pleased with the results.
