Default Coil test

Is there any way within reason to test coil packs? I'm chasing a intermittent miss when my rpm's come up around 4g. Tuner suspects possible broke valve spring but I'm going to cover the easy stuff first.

Im literally chasing the same scenario with my nova. But at 6400 rpms. Gunna try a new set of coil packs as these are 2nd hand and TMU. I m hopn its that easy but i m doubtful. I was told to change dwell settings and see if problem moves up or down rpm range. Im also pulling VCs and checking lash. After these two, i m thinkn its electrical. Also need to add some baffles to my VCs. Rockers are slingin oil right into both my -10 lines and filling the catch can
