best ls coil for turbo
Rotary is pretty sharp on this stuff. I bet he has mentioned it before.
Ive run the 585’s simply because they came on my L33. They do look cool with the heat sinks....
Im sure I had a set of the 581’s in my stash but gave them away.
Firecore and Melco were mentioned as brands. Are these not stock GM?
I get occasional popping and unexplained lean spikes and pops from time to time when I get up to 24psi.
My dwell tables are stock. I run the stock ecu. I should check to see if I can log dwell.
And get those coils back.

Your LS1 coils are good up 1200 hp. This been proven on the dyno. They can handle more dwell time than the truck coils. There is a test that was done YouTube down in Australia on all coil over plugs. Go check it out.
What is the lowest gap you've run? Depending on the ECU/harness used I've had to go down to .012 to get plugs to fire. The first thing I do is gap them down silly low and see if that elevates the problem. can you control dwell? What ECU?

I have the msd6014 and all you can do is maybe put the ls2 setting in it.I have been down to 15-16 and didnt really help.The car will just fall on its face once its making 20 psi.Its like I turned the key off almost.I have a terminator x on the way but holley so backed up not sure when it will get here
Looks like you only have ls1/ls2 and "truck" Coil dwell settings. And no indication of what those settings are. I'd call MSD and ask.
Have you logged voltage? I've also noticed if the alt drops off line the deadtimes on the dead times can go wonky and really screw up the tune. All of my alts dropped off line on factory pulleys around 6k. Do you use a resisted plug?

Verdad Gallardo I've had a WOT shutoff condition in the past and it was wiring. It was exactly as you described, like someone shut the key off. Are you saying it doesn't do it at lower boost and same rpm?

I've seen 3 different causes all show the same symptom. Coil pack wiring/EMI from a 2 step rev limiter, broken ground wire on the back of a cylinder head, and the stupidest was the battery terminal grounding out against the AC dryer. You need to see if it's strictly boost related or if it does it at the same rpm at less boost. Also need to see if it's at launch or in all gears. Blowing out spark isn't going to act like turning the key off, it'll act like a rev limiter/2 step.
