I look down at your bio and noticed you have a KB Super Charger. Do you
have any gains from such a low boosted SC? Is it worth the money compared
to the likes of the ATI kit?

With the "coil-on-plug" used on 4.7 engine, there are no aftermarket
ignitions available (i.e. hotter coils). Since these 8 individual coils are
fed 12 volts and the ground is interrupted by computer control to cause the
spark, would it be possible to add a DC-to-DC converter to it and feed the
coils a higher voltage (15-18 volt)? Any ideas on effect on spark and coil
longevity?
