Default Coil Packs

I have an ls3 with some small mods, Cam,worked heads,intake, TB etc. I still need to buy a set of coil packs and was wondering how good are the stock OEM ones? Is this something that should be upgraded or do the stocks work fine for the most part? I have looked on here and also Ebay but haven't found many options for LS3 coils. Can you use coil packs from any of the ls motors on an ls3 or do they need to be specific to the LS3?

I'm confused. Do you have an ls3 swapped into your 4th gen?

Honestly I dont have a wiring harness yet and still trying to figure out the most pocket friendly way to do this since Im running out of funds rather quickly. Its nice to hear that the truck Coil packs will work since those are easy enough to find. Is there any difference from the truck coils and the ones that would come on the Vett motor, well besides an inflated price? Any direction you guys can give me on which harness to use to save cash would be great.
