If a stronger coil does lessen the chance of misfiring under heavy
load (WOT), then it might be worth the extra cost for that reason
alone ... right now I have no idea what the Accel Super Coil goes for.

I have not gone to any of the aftermarket complete systems because
of the previous posts that I have read. If I went by magazine articles
alone, I would have and probably would have regretted spending the
money. For street driving, I have no complaints with the stock
system.
