I realize that the coil on plug system has been known to have high rpm/high HP issues, but it shouldn't. Has anyone actually discovered why? Basic math shows that multiple coils should be better, so why aren't they? Sorry for the threadjack, but I have wondered about this for a while.

I would think with a build that is going to make this much power, they need FULL control over how and when timing comes in during a pass. From what I have gathered, the boxes that allow you to do this will not work with cop setups.

It isn't the coils themselves....its a problem with the crank sensor setup.
