Installed the new MSD Coils today..
I did add a tab of dielectric grease on the boot for good measures.  Z

     

To me its a no brainer for the $250ish and they are easy to install. Plus they come in Three different colors ?

I really like this mod.  So like the article states, is the engine responsiveness a night and day difference or what?  That was the main point.  Along with just under 10 horse and torque, the biggest difference was the way the car responds?  Any feedback in regards to that?

Here is my take with the new MSD ignition coils @ 61K!
I immediately noticed a much smoother idle followed by a quicker warm up time on a cold morning startup!
I did notice for some reason that my BOV to sound a bit louder!
I did remove the ground terminal on battery for 1 hour to immediately notice a quicker,shorter cranking period upon startup,similar to when installing a new battery....

IMHO as far as performance gains i did notice the vehicle to be a bit more responsive with negligible gains to be had and time will only tell @ the Track!  If you have any questions please feel free to ask..Z

Here is a good article for reference...

Thanks Z!  I've been slightly hesitant to pull the trigger on them but I no longer doubt their benefit.  Definitely on my list of To Do's!  Go get that 11 at the track!!!

I wrapped my extra set of charge pipes with some heat resistant tape to maybe help with cooling! Dunno! Z

Could try a bag of ice on the intake manifold before you run too. Sucker gets mega hot.

helps to take the weatherstripping off at the firewall. and to pop the hood when the run is over and you are cruising back to the line.
