Its just basically turning the optispark into just a optical sensor for timing and removing the high voltage from it, the firing will be taking care of by 8 separate ignition coils like the LS Engines. Benefits are longer opti life, most people never have a problem ever again from what I've pretty much heard. I would also say more stable spark as well. Cost is 400 for the LTCC
Coil per Cylinder Module. Only other parts needed are 8 LS1/LS6 Coils, Cut to length Plug wires, and a coil harness from GM and some fab skills.
I'd say anywhere from 600-750 on average to do so. IMO I think its worth it for me.

You need the Delteq module to run the Northstar system. I do not believe they are in business anymore.

If it were ME, and I were going for a stock look (which I would), I'd try to mount the coils down on the frame rail. To me, that would looks stock, as in a '90's LT1 stock look (no coils on the valve covers) and I don't like the look of coils on valve covers LT1 or otherwise. The coils would still be about as close to the plug as the VC location...just out of sight.
