I think the assumption is that the coils fire multiple sparks. Everyone I've talked to says the money could be better used to gain additional HP, but,.................... they sur 'r purdy.

I have an MSD on my 91 Camaro and 95 Toyota 4-Runner. I like it. Supposed to give you a little more HP and gas mileage because of a "pulse train" of about 20 sparks in lieu of just one that burns the air/fuel mixture more efficiently. I don't notice the HP increase, but I do see better gas mileage. The C6 will require 8 individual coils, expensive, but I will eventially get 'em.

Don't waste your money. The stock coils can fire 1000hp motors. The analogy is this; does it make any difference if you start a forest fire with a match or a blow torch? The fire still starts. They look nice though! But $750 per set. For looks, well,.....

For the amount you save in fuel mileage and $750, you'd probably have to put 200k miles on the car before you would get a return on the dollar.
