8k miles on cap and rotor? That does not sound right...are you using brass
caps?

I've got the Accel stock replacement coil (the MSD coil wasn't out yet)
on my 2000 V6 and definately noticed an improvement over stock. The
only thing that I noticed that was negative was that the effective life
of caps and rotors was shortened by a lot. That got even worse now that
I've got the MSD 6A ignition box on it... I've had to start doing cap
and rotor at about 8k miles, and at about 15k miles i'll do the whole setup.
