I've got an MSD blaster coil but I doubt it makes a difference.

Although the optispark is highly criticized, it is already an extremely good ignition as far as the efficiency and how "hot" it is.

I ran the Hypertech coil on my old 91 SS454 pickup and it made a big difference. I bought one to put on my 96 SS and it's a different style so I have no use for it. If you're interested in it, I'll sell it for $55 shipped. I think the part # is 4055, I'll have to check when I get home. I've put hotter coils on almost every vehicle I've had and they definitely work better and keep emissions down and idle smoother and start easier.

I see in summit that that part # will work so if it is 4055 than I would probably get it, hypertech gives out a max spark of 53,000volts and a MSD blaster coil puts out 45,000 volts. so we'll see, I'll send ya a PM later one, gotta see how broke I am this week with the nitrous I jsut bought lol.
