IMO have it scanned first and check for codes...take a look at the O2's and see what they are doing.

No you have to buy the coils yourself and fab your own mounts.

If you want a complete kit go with the delteq.

Is there some reason the delteq will not work above 6500?

lol no. What that is saying is that the northstar engine had a stock redline of 6500 set, not that the delteq kit has that.

You will be just fine spinning much higher than 6500 with the delteq.

The delteq doesn't actually come with a separate rev limiter (unlike the LTCC) so your redline will be whatever the pcm has it set too.

i like the ltcc kit, if i have a cylinder missing i can track it to that coil,wire,plug,connector,ect...
and it revs to 7k in my Ta, and has a built in retard for the nitrous so the car is tuned for regular driving but pulls the timing when on the spray
but the delteq is a complet kit and my 95 northstar made all it power in the higher RPM

so the choice is yours
