MSD Coils Vs Stock on LS1
What is the general concensus on performance gains going to the MSD's? I would have a hard time believing it would make a big (actually any) difference, but had another person tell me they helped his car a lot.

Based on what I have heard, you can spend the $600 (I believe thats how much they cost) elsewhere and see better gains. The stock LS1 coils are more than enough unless you are really talking some major power.

MSD are junk! Stockers put out more spark and last a long time! Talked to people that own the Pro charger Pro mod and i walked up and said hey they are stock 6.0 GM truck coils and he said yup! We tested every coil out and it put out the most spark and was most consistent!

I had two "out of the box" failures on MSD coils.
Exposed to engine heat, they would stop working.
As for quality of spark, all I can say that is that it looks like the Frankenstein movie if you unplug the coil wire.
It won't feel like a lawnmower jolt either!
YEOWWW!
Are they worth it?
Looks- yes
Performance improvement- questionable

I like what you've done here. Is that paint available in NBM?

Just the regular $4.95 a can spray paint from home depot will work in "emergengy red" ... if you want to paint them NBM you can find cans of duplicolor in NBM and clear coat at auto parts stores..but if you want it to really look good have a body shop do the painting with real NBM paint.
