Didn't think there was anything wrong with the stock coils?

waste of money.. there are people in the single digits with stock coils.... buy headers/exhaust, cam/valvetrain, put it towards a stall/rear or something along those lines.... before worrying about those

He means a high stalled toque converter if your running an auto tranny. A 12 bolt or 9in rear end our stock 10 bolt tend to break with some sticky tires.

i did the msd coils and no problems, also when you remove the coil packs it's a piece of cake to change out the plugs, and if you want new coils do it !!! it's only a matter of time before you do.

yeah,it is pointless to blow $670 dollars for a ls1 msd coil set if you arent going to notice much of a hp increase.

unless you need to replace your coils anyway don't mess with it. $540 on ebay... almost $400 to replace the stock ones.

btw not everything is about gaining hp
