well....i really don't know. i like the looks of the ones under the headers, but that seems like too much heat soak would occur on the coils....i've seen some on the inner fenders that looked ok. ~Joshua on here makes a kit i might buy for under the wiper cowl...
really i'd like to see pics of different kinds. i've done a lot of searching and surprisingly not found much.....mostly just the ones in the "best engine bay" thread on here....

Ha. My car's still on the Thunder web site for the coil relocation kit. I have them, and the Thunder wires.
Finally had a wire fail on me. One of the ends came off the wire (wire failed; the end was still in the coilpack). Maybe that's why the car was missing last year.
It was the #7, so it was way back under the cowl. Car's been parked for 10 months, it was missing when I parked it, found the broken wire today. 
I did it so I can pull my valve covers easily to set valve lash on the solid roller. I do like having them up in there, but it's pretty tight to get to them.

yeah i had a helluva time gettin' mine in and all cinched down...i've re-engineered them somewhat for easier access and a little better aesthetics (sp?).
definately not a difficult job to do and well worth the headaches when done. coil relo's with the EVAP mod can make a LS1 look more like a motor than a computer bank
