I'm looking to order a set of msd coil packs. On 3800 performance they have the set for $150. From jegs I can get the set for $130 IF they are the same. 3800 perf. doesn't list the part number. Jegs lists the part number. Does anyone know the part number that fits the gp or know if these are the same coils? Thanks in advance.

I'm sure others will chime in but why are you buying the msd packs?
Factory packs are more than sufficient, and If I have read the research correct, the msd packs have less power and are not as durable as factory.

Why do you say waste of money?
12-19-2009
stock coil packs work at any power level you can throw at them and the MSD coils are rated for the L36 coils.
12-19-2009
use the money elsewhere

my car got a better throttle response ever since i put mine on with the wires.

well in that case then your stock coils were on their way out. there is no way MSD coils are better in any way.Originally Posted by a98gtp4u

With wires...
12-19-2009
well yea, i wouldnt use stock 7mm wires with them. its doin alot better than when it had the stock coils and wires, thats what they r 4, bigger more constant spark. also i got them and the wires 4 $60 shipped.

Just curious of where you got the msd coils and 8.5mm wire from for $60/ including shipping. At that price I will give them a shot to. Especially since I need a new set anyway.

My reason for getting new coils is because my car has a little bit of a rough idle. I've put 2500 miles on the car and its thrown a random misfire code twice. It has new plugs and wires, so I was thinking it wouldn't hurt to replace them. I'm pretty sure they are original and the car has 127k miles. I'm not expecting any hp gains or anything. I was just looking to get some new ones to smooth out my idle. So, I'm better to just replace them with OEM packs?

I have no experience with the msd coils on our cars, but it sounds like your best bet would be spend your money on plugs/wires/fuel filter, and see what happens. Upgrade to a performance wire anyway so that if you do, later wanna try the MSD packs your already good to throw em on.

^^Agreed.
They are just there for eye candy or if you have the money to waste on them when your stockers are taking a dump. Your wires were probably on their way out too.
12-20-2009
well got it all $60 shipped, not complaining. they work just fine. btw, i work at autozone and the stock l36 and l67 coils r the same.
12-21-2009
No their not. The aftermarket companies list one coil but GM does not. L67 coils are different than L36/any other GM cars.
L67 coil= D576
every other GM= D555
(delco part numbers.)
----------------------------
Like everybody said, stock are the best.
12-21-2009
what is the difference between the 2 coils?
12-21-2009
Nothing...although some seem to think there is.
12-22-2009
Waist of money.
When i had my prix fully modded i lost power with them. Dyno proven
12-22-2009
Got it! I'm going to get some new OEMs tomorrow. I gotta get this rough idle fixed. Makes it feel like a POS. Thanks for the help guys!
