Default BWD E254 ignition coils?

Are these good like the heat sink truck coils everyone is upgrading to. or R they as good as the ac delco ones D585 or are they just knock offs that are only as good as the Ls1 coils. I tried a search and didnt find anything on the part number

Here is the link http://www.oreillyauto.com/site/c/de...2779&ppt=C0334

Identical to the GM part. It even has the GM part number on them.

Pep Boys has them for $45 each.

Go to Pep Boys. Buy some light bulb grease-or some other super inexpensive item. Go home, do the online survey using the receipt info. Get the 10% off coupon in an email and print it out. Go back to pep boys and buy the coils using the 10% off coupon.

Now they'll cost you $40.50 each.

You did study this first, right? https://ls1tech.com/forums/12985321-post1.html

Yeah I know I need the Ls2 brackets and connecters. Its just that many people say there are a bunch of knock offs on ebay that have the heat sink but dont work better than the ls1, only equal to them. Just dont want to do the purchase for the wrong ones

These coils are made by their manufacturers and tested on a go/no go based on GM's specs. Ones that work but don't pass muster are later dumped on the market as "seconds". This is what you'll find on ebay at ridiculously low prices.

The BWD boxed coils pass GM testing and have a warranty-something the ebay deals won't have.

Good luck with your project!
