higher output coils?

I found a company that released 80 KV coils for our cars earlier this month. What bothers me is the lack of other specs on the coils. Please share your thoughts on whether this is just a worthless gimmick or does indeed have some merit. For us turbo guys, I wonder if it would help us run a wider plug gap w/o missing.

Personally I would stay away from them. No known history, probably/possibly a rebranded coil that does nothing of value, like "0" ohm wires I've seen...which were shop made bulk wires from Autozone with fancy covers... Absolute junk...

I personally run the high output coils from ProEFI... You would have to contact a dealer or ProEFI for cost and further details...

Seems everyone is reselling the IGN-1A these days !

They probably are one of the strongest coils about.

That said, any stock LS coil is bloody powerful and very few will need anything stronger.

Agreed, the coils I'm running now would probably light off in mud...
