General Concensus is they are a waste of money, unless you need new coils anyway and want them to be red.
I hear the truck coils are a better bet. A few people have shown gains, others have argued they do nothing. But they can be had for about $150 - $200 rather than $800

Cool thanks guys I'm going 2 do a tune up on my TA and was thinking of buying them but someone has them for 450 new on here is it still a waste of $ or should I just buy stockers. If so where should I get the stock ones from ?

put them on my '01,and on the pasenger side the rear coil pack wears right through your heater core hose,because of poor design,and being too big..NOT worth the money,or the hassles.also,if 1 coil goes bad(which they do)you HAVE to replace it w/ another MSD,or you will throw a computer code..usually singles are a 120-plus.been there,done that..

The stock LS1 coilpacks are capable of producing 4 times more energy than the optispark of the LT1. The stockers are overkill for just about every setup, and the MSD's are really only for looks. People can claim yes I bolted them on my car and got these higher numbers but comparison dynos are not dated anywhere near each other. Same fuel/air with an increase of ignition won't do a damn thing. Keep your stockers fella and put the money into something more productive in my opinion. Hey you could have 150 shot or cam minus the tune for price of those.

Would you fellas agree that it might help if your motor had a power adder such a as a turbo/supercharger setup.. or even running with a bottle?
just a thought..

Truthfully I really don't think it would still matter. The stockers are easily capable of performing the job. Now if you where running something bigger than an 88mm turbine or fully boosted F1A then might start to questioning it. Your talking about ALOT of damn power though.
