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.

That's the car I was thinking of when it was mentioned. I can't wait to see some passes out of this thing.

Whats the HP record for an LSX motor now? Is it the 1700 that wheel to wheel had or is that just a stock block record? G
