Default Anyone running an ACCEL super coil?

I have noticed some symptoms of hard starting and overall sluggish performance. I have an accel supercoil and i have the rear hood to cowl panel seal cut for better air flow. I noticed by mistake that when the hood isnt latched it seems to run better. I am not sure if that is due to the fact that there is not pressure on the coil? Any one have any inputs here? What kind of aftermarket coils are you runnning? Any pix?

Mine ran fine with it - and without it; ie, no different than stock so I went back to stock - waste of $'s as far as I'm concerned.

Been running it for about 12 years now, works fine and cost less than GM wanted for stock.
