Default MSD Coil Pack

I put LS1 MSD plug wires on my car.

Does any one know if these would work on our LS4? I could not see a reason why not.

They have the same part number for both engines.

okay 8245 is for 1, and for 8 is 82458. I thought it was different.

They do seem to indicate they will work. I would be dubious that, at least in a normally aspirated engine that isn't blowing the spark out, that you would get $700+ of improvement over the stock set-up, but to each their own.

But how often to u look at your motor???? Vs how much u drive your car. Save up the money for porting, heads, trans, or turbo. Something u will feel/ slash use every time you get into your car.

I would really like to know more about the truck swap on the coils....what benny's...only thing i can think of would be the fact that the compression ration is different on the trucks so it might produce a different level of energy to the pack or from the pack to the plug and then to the cylinder...IDK..?? or if there is any benny's...and its just for the simple fact that they fit, and that it works LOL..somebody comes up with a "EXPERT" theory on them being better cause they work and they are from a truck...so must be stronger?? LOL you guys know how this goes...LOL
