Default Coils for FI

Hey guys, I'm doing a pair of 450 cu in lsx block motors for a boat project. They will have Whipple chargers and a Dailey dry sump setup, all good parts throughout, as well as the Holley HP system. Looking for opinions on coil choices. I know a lot of guys use OEM coils from whatever setup they have, or a junkyard core, etc., but we are starting from scratch, and I'm not sure what others have experienced with MSD stuff, if there is a stock factory coil that's better than the others, etc.

Planning on running around 12-15 lbs boost, inline Allpro heads, water intercooled, so it's not super crazy on cylinder pressure. Probably gonna make 8-900 hp on pump gas.

As stated, looking for opinions/experience, thanks!!

15lbs Isn't gonna blow the spark of the stock truck coils so I'd go with that first, in case they work you save money!

Just go straight to the bad *** coils from Holley. Spend money once and do it right. They take a 5-wire connector so it is not a simple plug and play with ls coils.
