Default Best LSx Coil?

What's the best LS1?

I buying a product for C4's which changes the opti to a coil per cylinder and uses LS1 coils (LTCC).

Is there a better coil than the LS1? A MSD? LS6? LS2?

I doubt it will make a differance, but no point and not looking and trying.

Thanks!

I do not believe that there is any aftermarket coils for the ls1. The reason is because I dont think there is a need for a better one the stock is more than up to the job!

Trucks have better coils. But unless you're over 700rwhp, you shouldnt care.

Can't do much better than stock for the money...Truck coil are ok but really not any better. MSD and Accel are not worth the extra $$ in MHO..

MSD just came out with coil upgrades for LS1 and LS6 Corvettes. They have them for sale at Corvettegarage. There is an ignition controller in the works. Not Cheap!

Here is the link: http://www.corvettegarage.com/produc...-Corvette.html

Thanks. I didn't think there was anything better for the LSx motors, but I always try to buy more than I need. I had always wondered if MSD would ever come out with a multi spark system for the LSx motors.

Thanks!

I cant believe MSD even bothered. I wouldnt spend a dime on those until they are dyno proven.

According to Jacobs ignition, you can get up to 10% increases in HP and economy.

Its all really, if theres a zap, the engine will run. You only need 1 gigawatt ignitions when you are trying to light nitro methane in a top fuel car.
