As far as I've ever heard, they are a waste of money. The stock coils are great and your money is best spent else ware. I've never seen any high hp ls1 cars with aftermarket ignition systems.

Had a Blaster on my last Vette-Piece of JUNK-after MSD replaced it for the 3rd time, they gave me an HVC coil-never had a problem again. A couple of the Blasters were made in Mexico and the other in China-very bad coils.

Thanks for the replies guys - I appreciate it.

I've always regarded MSD as a reputable company with good products - it's a shame that this product doesn't live up to the claims.
