    I've got a 2004 GP GTP Comp G. I've got a random miss fire and I've changed the spark plugs: autolite 104. and changed to zzp wires.
    So I'm thinking of changing the Coil packs...So i guess the question is what is the best coil pack to go with...OEM or Aftermarket?

    why did you change the plugs to a colder heat range? are you modded?

    coil packs are OEM all the way. aftermarket coils suck (there are only MSD anyway). they are basically eye candy.

    Autolite 104's in a stock car = fail.

    Get autolite 606/605's. And just get coils from Morad.

    MSD coils actually dont perform as well as the stockers and X3 on the plugs...unless you have dropped pulley sizes, go back to a warmer heat range. Your gas mileage will suffer and you wont be running at peak performance.

    Get a multimeter or ohmmeter and mesure the resistance on the coils. Should read between 5k ohms and 8k ohms. Although not recommended, you should not be getting misfires running 104s on a stock car.

    is it a stuterd or missing out bad????


    you can gap the plugs up some to 60. the lower the gap, the ruffer the idle. gas will also play a part in stutering at idle. does it miss going down the road?? just idel??
