STOCKERS are as god as you need

You could do a MSD DIS-4 set up but its pricey and has its down falls
07-27-2010
Stock is more than enough. MSD's seem to be less reliable than stock.

Screamin' Demon were coil packs from back in the day and they were actually tested and made a hotter than stock spark and a little more ponies...they were worth it...the MSD's...not really. High Performance Pontiac did a article on them a long time ago on a bone stock GT along with headers. Link to them...I'd like to get some to get rid of my MSD's.

2003 Pontiac Grand Prix - Dyno Testing - High Performance Pontiac Magazine
Though the stock GM coils are known to produce plenty of spark power, the Screamin' Demon coils are designed to produce exceptional spark power with no drop in power at higher engine rpm (5,000-up)
We felt smoother throttle response but didn't see an improvement on the dyno. However, the upgrade in materials and durability over stock are better reasons to use these products than a possible gain of a few horsepower.
Performance Distributors had just released its LiveWires (PN C9043, $89) and Screamin' Demon coils (PN 31735, $99) for the '95-up 3800 front drivers.
Screamin' Demon coils employ a brass terminal to attach the coil wire. According to the company, the brass terminal is more conductive than a typical aluminum terminal and will resist corrosion better. Increased coil energy allows for a wider spark plug gap, which could increase power and mileage.
Though Performance Distributors ignition products have shown improved performance in previous strip and dyno testing on other makes of motors, back at SLP we ran identical numbers to our last pull on the rollers. This is possibly because, though Performance Distributors recommends increasing spark plug gap to 0.060 (due to the increase in coil power) to improve mileage and horsepower, the stock plug gap for the GP is already 0.060. Another factor is the power increase is generally found at 5,000+ rpm and our GP makes peak horsepower at just 4,790 rpm. Regardless, our intent was more to increase durability and reduce maintenance with these high-quality ignition parts.

So where can I get a set? And wires
07-28-2010
I still say stock wires are the best. I had the Red Taylors for a year and half and they failed. Went back to stock with no problems ever since and the stock ones have a lifetime warranty.

Brother we are talking about coils not wires
07-28-2010
He gotcha there RyanBrother we are talking about coils not wires
07-28-2010
The only downfall for me was the wiring it in.
07-28-2010
where can i get these coil packs?
07-28-2010
the guy asked about wires, he answered.
now about the coil packs.. are they still available anywhere?
07-28-2010
I looked for about 20min and could not find them, summit has them for sale with the part number, but the coil they described was a ford coil.

Was the dis-4 worth it What did you notice over stock besides ability to munipulate timingThe only downfall for me was the wiring it in.
