Thing is with my Accels, during a WOT run, approaching redline, somethis very bad would happen ignition-wise. Appearantly super-early ignition, accompanied by a loud pop, RPMs would drop from 5k to 300 instantaneously, and would not give my any power for several seconds. I think the PCM was protecting the engine after the pre-ignition. It happened a handful of times, I'd swap back to stock, couldn't repeat, put them back on, did it again, never used them again. Maybe I just got a bad coil...

Yes it could be a bad coil or even coils for that matter, Stock coil seem to have the best reliability in my book, Although I have never experience anything like that at WOT with my ACCELs. My advise would be to use the later model stock GM coils that put out more power if your not going aftermarket. I have just been very lucky with my ACCELs and have great results and reliability with them but if the do go bad, I'm going back to GM coils of the later models.

We've only had 3 sets of Accel'* on here before you that I recall, and all 3 failed early or were bad out of the box.

MSD coils work very well. I have a set over 2 years old, and some have even older coils. They are a little hotter than S2 L67 OEM coils.

Is that really true, your MSD'* took a dump, I was going to try MSD'* just for the hell of it and see if there is a difference between my Accels that do put out 45,000 volts opposed to 40,000 with the MSD'* and the stock ones, Although I still think the GM stock coils are the most reliable. So My question would be is it worth the money or just stick with my Accels?

Wrens MSD'* didn't dump. it was a bad reading or battery in the multimeter.
