• bought a used complete set up last January minus plug wires
• having some break up issues around 5500 rpm that tuning did not change
• got Taylor wires
• did the tear down

found coil wire not in all the way = arching
found loose opti bearing = wobble
everything else looked good

• installed good opti with no rotor
• installed LTCC components

had no markings on coil wires = which cylinder?
Bob Bailey emailed right away with clear direction
made new plug wires
turned key - bingo!
topped off fluids, warm up - no leaks

car feels crisp and runs a bit smoother
no sign of breaking up at all
conclusion:
the coil wire and / or a good opti probably would have solved my problem
I have nice easy coil access and plug wires
I have no cap and rotor failures in my future

LTCC is a good idea if you rather not chance good opti / bad opti
and I dare say performs as well or better than the best opti ever could
