Default Msd coils bad ?

When I bought MY 02 Z06 a couple years ago it came with msd coil packs on a basically stock engine. On my way to a car show two weeks ago the car would start surging a bit when I would wind it up above 4,000 rpm's. I inspected coils and found one that looked like the outer part of it was separating. I installed originals that also came with the car and surging stopped. Has any one else ran into this ?

I ran them for a while. The first one failed at under 1000 miles. I got rid of them because they were not reliable in my experience.

The MSD coils were JUNK.

The internal connections would become intermittent when warm and MSD knew they were crap.

I went through 4 and then sold them off after MSD refused to honor anymore warranty claims.
