Which coils?

I was thinking of changing my coils since my car has been acting kinda funny and was wondering what you guys suggest, stock 5.7, 5.3, or msd.

Omh all your plug wires, I have seen new ones that where bad!
I think that MSD 8.5 are the best, but they go bad after 3 to 4 years also.

where did you price them out, a set is near $640+ based on the $80 each price i've seen. (ouch)

The MSD's are out I think, but they are something like $69-89 a piece as well....I heard from people at Wheel-to-Wheel that the factory Truck coils have more power than the car coils (same volt, higher amp or something like that). THey tend to use them on car that are over 700rwhp. I will probably switch to a set of truck coils if I can find a low mileage wrecked truck!
