Default Anyone Using The MSD LS6 Coils?

I was reading about the LS6 MSD coils on the MSD site. Before I spend $650.00, I was wondering if any Z owners are using them and, if so, are you seeing any performance benefit(s).

They will need a wider plug gap to show improvement.
Most likely is in the instructions. To widen the gaps.Get some Jacob's wires.Wires are the extension of the coils.

One guy I run the Corvette Challenge with in Florida used them. He thought they helped improve his time. Then, he was having intermitant spark problems and took them off and put the factory ones back on. Ran the same times with the factory ones as the MSD coils and no more spark problems. I would use the money on a different mod.

Thanks for the feedback. I have had a good and bad experience with MSD. I have an MSD distro., box and blaster coil in my Scarab 454 with MSD wires and NGK Iridium plugs and it is great. I have an MSD box and tach adapters in my '94 T-Bird and it is back to MSD for the 3rd time. I'll stay OEM with the coils and maybe do the Vararam Intake.
