D585 Coils
D585 Coils I have been wondering if anyone is still using these in place of the stock ls1 coils? I have searched and found very recent information. Anything to be gained along with a H/C/I swap??
I don't see why NOT to use them. Any possible gains aside, engines often run smoother and respond better with them.
In your search, did you see the stickie?

Forced induction often needs help preventing spark blowout. Won't have that issue with NA
As for reasons not to use them: cost, needing modification to brackets and bending fuel rail slightly, aesthetics (I find them ugly compared to stock coils or square truck coils), and needing tune to adjust dwell to see the full benefit of them.
Things easily overlooked if they gained HP consistently but there is little to no evidence that they do. Not that there is anything wrong with running them but not something worth going out of your way to get and install IMO. But yes the sticky has all that information and OP can decide for himself if it's something he would like to do.

I actually did read the sticky. However, it is several years old and I see very little activity or talk about the usage of the D585 coils now. I thought they were plug and play with no tuning required...?
