Default Ls3 style coils

Ok I got some Holley tall ls valve cover and now need to get ls3 coils so they can bolt up. What brand coils are you guys using and where do you get them so it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. Any Chinese specials as long as they work only plan on making 700 at most on boost

I'd avoid cheap Amazon chinese coils. You'll chase your tail with intermittent misses. This I say with experience. Buy from Rockauto and stick with Bosch or Acdelco.

Just so I understand I called summit and they said you can use ls3 coils on an ls1 cause they don’t have the same reluctor. I think he doesn’t know what he’s talking about but I want to make sure before I order up this $150 harness that it’s plug and play with my ls1 engine harness.
