You can get a brand new vented opti from jegs for 289.00! IT's an AC Delco factory replacement, meaning its the same one that came on your car from the factory.

I was quoted 675 from a local dealer, and i told them where to jam it. Jegs and Summit are probably the cheapest. I prob. wouldnt pay more than 325 for the opti. Im going to give the MSD unit a try with the new build

well i wouldnt use jegs,summit or any other knock off brand optis. Just because they say gm replacement, dosent mean they are using gm parts to make it. i have only heard good things about gm and msd opti's. there are only a hand full of people that have had problems with the msd's.

Yes summit and jegs sells there own version of the opti, but jegs also sells the AC DELCO FACTORY REPLACEMENT OPTI-SPARK FOR 279.99!(This price is for the vented pin drive opti) This is an actual factory replacement, meaning it's the exact one that came on your car from the factory. Don't buy anything else from anywhere else, Jegs has the absolute best deal on brand new AC DELCO OPTI'S.Here is the link: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...rm=809-1104032
For some reason the website shows 373.99, but my catalog shows it being 279.99. So you might want to call them!!!

Absolutely!!!! They sell there own but you can buy the GM Opti..I bought one for 294 shipped and the piece is a genuine GM part..its got the name on it and came in a GM box..its legit..I checked it over about 10 times before installing it..It works great on my car..
