Same here, minus the wind and cold. Pulled up to a intersection in my Cobra and it just shut off. Digital6 box fried. Luckily everything was plug and play, so it was a quick fix. I pulled that crap as soon as I made it home, never bought another msd product since. Nothing beats oem reliability.

 

Bumping this old thread in search for new options, are there any new bolt on ignition parts for us?

A lot of high power builders use the LS2 Truck coil now, a monster according to some people, any input?

Looking for a simple upgrade ready for big hp.

 

boost a spark

 

On OEM coils? Any of high hp guys using it? Always sceptic to "piggy back" parts but guess this is solid?

 

It's what we used on the old rotary engine to solve the ignition issues, I also have 4 on standby if the S2k coils don't prove up to the heat from race abuse....cheap too.

 

Ive been breaking up too! Evans tuned it 2 weeks ago and make 507 at 18psi on my p-tuning setup on sunoco 110 leaded fuel. Stock ignition and coils with 77,xxx miles on them and a fresh set of BKR8EIX irridiums gapped to .22-.23. Didnt run into any problem at the tune or even after but the last week or so up in connecticut it has been SUPER HUMID and just all around shitty for running cool and crisp. Any options? Im thinking about replacing my coils soon but want to know what the best options are. Im also going to switch back to my 424whp map on pump gas and 13psi since filling up on race gas is starting to make me chringe lol espically when im not seeing anywhere near the 507whp with the crappy weather out

 

I´m still interested in the LS2 Truck coils, any clue if we can use them? And very important, better than our coils?

Found this wiring diagram:

Here´s a hint, any good? On the LS1 coil there is around 40 milliamps of peak secondary current with 5 milliseconds of dwell time. On the LS2/truck coil (AC Delco D585), there is 120 milliamps!

 

I was using the ls2 coils. They worked well. No complaints.

 

On a Honda? Hp level?

Talked to a Audi tuner a few days ago and these coils solved their spark problem above 1000hp, right now 1300bhp. Hard to compare when they have 5 cylinders/coils but nice to see these numbers with a simple ignition system.

 

yeah, i used to use them on my b-series, then used them on my f22. a little over 1200hp
