Aftermarket companies are funny sometimes
Too late. Tony an I already did that at SEMA

The guy we talked to was up front about the capabilities and output.

If anyone here can, it would be you

Sounds like a "interesting" test vehicle for MSD

Ah, back from the dead! Search is great sometimes huh?

I just got one of my magazines and MSD had a huge ad with these in it so I thought I'd see what I could find. My initial reaction was the same. No way are these better than stockers (for the price)... same goes for wires. If I bought some MSD wires it would be for looks, not performance. My stock ones tested around 300 Ohms. Multiple sparks, yeah whatever... since when did LS1s come with points

So, I just need to go pick up some red plastic paint, and I'll be set!

Now that's an idea. Red Paint and some MSD stickers

no kidding. I don't understand how MSD expects to sell many of these @ $600/set. Seems like there's alot of cars making big power around here who get by just fine with the stock coils.
