Finally new coils are in!!!
With new coils and new wires my car is running a whole lot better. My misefires have went away. No more drop in voltage at idle. Time to drop the subs back in.

Sort of, I got the ones from Jegs. They are rated for Higher voltage 45,000 volts. The stock ones only run 40k. I do not think that makes much of a difference though.

My car has been running so bad lately with the the messed up coils and wires, that even stock would have been 100x better. But I do know what you mean, I am pretty sure I felt the power. It is not so much a increase in power, as more of something is happening quicker, in the engine. Must be the coils.

I had a bad coil as well, but I was running Jseabert'* stockers when the MSD'* came in, so I had a good comparison. It was noticeable. I'm betting that'* why the 'seat of the pants dyno' is telling you.
Coils should run about $120 for all three, plus wires (about $50 more). I wouldn't waste my time on the MSD coils without putting a good set of Taylors or MSD wires on there at the same time.
Jegs for the coils, you need the 8224'*, and www.grandprixstore.com for the best price on the Taylor Spiro-Pro wires that I've ever seen.

My jegs generic branded ones cost $99 for all 3. Some msd ones should cost about $120. The wires I have found can range in price from $20 (do not buy), to about $120. Be sure to buy ones for a minimum of $30, go even better if you can. I cannot stress how much cheap wires suck. They lasted me a whole 2 months.
