Accel Super Coils

Has anyone tried these yet? Steeda makes them also, wondering about thoughts/ opinions, and wondering if the car needs to be re-tuned?

It's on their project car and it they picked up about 10hp in their testing coupled with exhaust... Curious as well. Probably not for 400+ tho

Save your money until you need to replace the coils (which is a long way off). You only really need ignition mods when your making substantial changes to the engine ( like supercharging with a metric crap ton of boost)

There is a guy in my AO running 9's on the stock ignition with a supercharger and a 250 shot as an example. He's set to breach the 1k mark in HP with the stock ignition as well.

If your looking to mod your ignition, spark pkugs are money better spent since they degrade much faster than the rest of the ignition system (especially if you race the car).

And to make a quick point. You have a spark igniting fuel. How is changing the coil to a "performance" coil going to affect HP? Its still a spark igniting fuel...
