Im weighing in on this debate once again i relayed this whole thread to my friend. Who is he? He has his ASEs A1-A8. And he attends Ranken Technical Colleges High Performance Racing program. Works for a performance shop here in STL. He said quote
"Dood OMG wtf. Stock coils are limited to a total of about 25k volts and MSD is up to 40k volts. My friend had a Grand Prix and a GTP, he put MSD coils on both of them and he said he noticed more pull in the higher rpm range which is true even in theory because the engine is traveling so fast that you need a really hot spark to get the fuel to start burning as soon as possible. And one of the reasons that guy is having a radom misfire is probably the crankshaft position sensor is got some metal dirt particals on it since it is externally mounted on those cars and the metal debris will interrupt the signal to the pcm causing a random misfire condition.
P.S. when you are putting a waste spark ignition coil on those cars you have to use that special lithium grease under the coil between the ignition module and the ignition coil so it keeps a good contact and keeps it cooler for better heat transfer and longer coil life."
---Were gona dyno in this all probably in the summer to get some #s and end the debate. I still have my stock coils and MSDs. Im running the MSDs and havent noticed anything wrong. Im not saying theres going to be an outrageous difference but I have a REALLY hard time believing that stock is better....
