Coils don't get "weak"..either they're good or they're not... This is one test result vs. how many??? How many times have we seen guys go from an LS6 mani to Fast 90 and posted a loss and other's have picked up 14+/- hp&tq.

this seems like an accurate result-i really can't see changing coils adding power unless there is another ignition problem.If the coil is lighting the plug and firing the cylinder there is no more power to be had through ignition.

I dont think he is kidding at all. Im the one that started the last thread showing a gain from swapping coils.
Please tell me what I have to gain by that? Do you think I have a shed full of used coils Im trying to sell?
I simply posted the results we saw from one test. Thats all. Do with it what you will.

FWIW, Jeff @ Spectacle was merely posting some results he found in his shop. There's nothing to gain from posting HP gains from a truck coil, unless you're a GM parts dealer. So there's absolutely no reason to make direct or indirect comments about anyone making false claims, or claims for personal gain. They simply posted feedback on it.
Carry on.
PS- For the record, I've never thought it was worth the swap either.

FWIW, we tested my car back to back getting it ready for the last rental... In hopes of making the most possible power, I ended up gaining like 10 average hp under 5,000 rpm, but lost over 5,000 rpm by ~10 hp I think... So, back to stock coils for me, as my car really never see's sub 5,000 rpm at the track.... We did the baseline, swap to trucks, then swap back and the only time it lost was with the trucks. We did 6 pulls.
