Default LS2 Coil to D585 Truck Coil..

Any benefit.. or pretty much the same?

I've seen gains going from LS1 coil to truck coil... just wondering if any difference going from LS2 to truck..

Default Coils

For what I remember reading a gain from the LS2 > D585's was much less than the jump from LS1 to D585's

thats interesting..... so we have 3 gains and 1 loss. Wonder y they lost power and 3 others have picked up hp. I think i may get a set since they are cheap enough and do a test on my own car. Did they say anything as to why it may have lost power. I cant understand the loss in power. I can understand no gain. But i cant see a loss with something that can generate more power. Then again im no electrician.

i have no numbers from my ls1 to 585's but there is a noticable idle improvement for example it idled great at 950rpm's and now the idle is down to 800rpm's and idles awesome and very smooth ??
