New MSD Coil for LS1 LS6
New MSD Coil for LS1 LS6 Just wondering if anyone has any feedback or info on the new coil? Is a bit pricey, as well.

They do look nice....... but $600 for coil packs!!!!! 
And for what gain? There are LOTS of VERY FAST cars that don't see a need for upgraded coil packs. Our stock coil on plug setup works great. I think I'd rather buy 15 turbonators.

You would have to fry all 8 of them though. Otherwise it would be cheaper to replace the fried one with a stocker. You couldn't just replace one of them with an MSD. You could replace every other one of them with an MSD, and it would only cost you $300. jk

I was just looking at these for a bit of added insurance now with the forced induction. As well as some good feedback.
Correct me if I am wrong dont these have a multi spark vs the oem with a one shot spark. They are even wired for a controler to take care of mulit-spark application???

They seem like you might get a slight power gain. Mostly better gas mileage though because of more fuel being burned with the multi-spark. Like Redneck said it would be a waste of $$ unless at least 7 were out. I think if 7 were out on my car, I would spend the extra $75 for the upgrade. Not sure if it has been longterm tested though since it is new. Don't want to buy something that is going to break in a year.
