Default need help asap anyone

ok soo.. i have all new msd coils, 2002 ls1 b4c, auto, i have a diablo preadtor..
alll week coils have been dying on me.. then i found this..
"I was reading over the weekend that the problem with the msd coils is that the factory settings for dwell time is too much. Think of dwell time not as discharge time, but rather charging time. If you charge them too long, they will burn out. Someone had actually contacted MSD and found out that the factory ls1 settings were charging the coil packs too long, which is what was causing them to crap out because you were overheating them by having too high of a dwell time."
any settings in my diablo to fix this?? its my daily driver.. and shes hurting throwing a p0300 code.

i have.. moved a bad coil.. an it follow location to location..
plug wires new. msd.. ohm'd ok.
new autolite iridium performance plugs
this is the coils.. i put factory one in place. isssue ok..
any help??

Your handheld can't fix that, you need HPT or EFI. I would sell the junk MSD coils and run stock ones.

I stopped reading there. Put the factory coils back on, return or sell the MSD coils.
