Ok...I'm kind of skeptical about BIG horsepower gains from just an ignition
coil. Kyle, what condition were your old plugs, wires, and coil in before
you changed them? (Sounds like you noticed gains from a Tune-Up.) Don't
take it the wrong way...i've also been looking for a coil that'll fit where
the old one is. (I like the MSD Blaster-SS...but can't put it in the
original location.)
