Default Coilpacks?

I tried a search but it isnt working. No one ever metions about having MSD coil packs wondering and I read somewhere about them not being worth it so I was wondering is it worth it to spend all that money for new coil packs

These motors have plenty good ignition systems. I
wouldn't bother.

definitely save your money unless you are running a ton of boost or a WHOLE lot of spray.

The factory ignition system will handle up to ~500hp no problem.

Its a show off mod

They have a high failure rate. I had them on my car for 4 months. Many instances of P0300 codes. Finaly major misfire on multiple cylinders. Sent them back to MSD under RGA and 4 were replaced. 3 dead and 1 low output.

When I got the set back I was foolish enough to put them on again. After one drive my motor started to misfire again. Many people are experienceing failures. Stay away. I plan to put my stock coils back on and then chuck all 8 into the dumpster. $600 waist of money.

Well thanks for everyones input looks like im putting that 600 bucks toward something worthwhile. I'm gonna do apfull tune up here soon and is it worth the extra money for the Iridium NGK spark plugs or do the normally V series work really well for a lightly modded motor?
