That wasn't my point. I am not debating the quality of the LS1/LS6 coils. I was reading the thread and the person stated that the car was running like crap prior to the change over. I have never had a problem with my coils either. The results seem suspect when the person mentions that the vehicle was not running well prior to the change over.

Facts are not things to be "agreed or disagreed" upon. That's for opinions.

Taxman has shown he is incapable of finding anything nonfactual in any of my posts. He has had numerous invitations to do so. If there were any inaccuracies in my posts, I have complete confidence that he would have pointed it out. He hasn't. He has failed every time to "come up with the goods", or give any technical reasoning to back up his statements.

Say what you want, but this is impressive from post #88

Amazing. I was concerned earlier that reading comprehension was not a necessary skill to graduate from your alma mater, and I keep getting more evidence that my fears were correct.
Initially I was just enjoying a simple technical discussion on this thread, but you kept challenging my knowledge or expertise, and then changing the subject when I inquired about your technical depth. I have made five or six challenges to you to review my posts, and find anything erroneous. You have failed every time. Admit it, if there was even one mistake in my posts you'd jump on it. And you haven't. What does that say?

Tell you what. Get your engine guy to read my posts. And no, not responding to your interpretation of technical matters, but reading the actual posts. If your engine guy is technically sharp, he'll find my posts are factually correct.

I look forward to conversing with your engine builder.
