How to convert to coil packs? Anybody?

[CTS13]

So i just bought a AEM EMS for my build and i wanna get rid of the distributor assembly and i know you need some kidn of standalone for this. Now ive been looking around and cant find a thread on any guides or anything. I know i saw one in the past and i was reading up on it but that was before i had a 240. Anybody have any threads or done this and can guide me through it?

Like i see this one on frsports.com by aem. Will i be able to use this.

Here is a link on how to run LS1 LS2 coils on the KA with the AEM EMS.

I will be doing this soon once my Series 2 EMS gets here. I bought LS2 truck coils for this coil setup which have twice the power as LS1 coils. The truck coils have Heatsinks on them and around the web people say they are the ones to get.

What are the benefits from all of the work and $$ involved? I see guys making enough power to bend rods with the stock ignition system is why I ask. Is it tunability once you go with a standalone?

i know they are not bending eagle rods cuz the amount of power you need to bend those, you will have more spark blow out than a lighter on a windy day.

When you start boosting 25lbs and higher, you can only decrease your spark gap so much. And not that im experienced in tuning but according to people that do tune, it is supposedly easier, more beneficial and better gains on a coil system than a distributor.

And if i already spent 6 grand on just engine performance not even including the Full Race kit, another 3-400 is not gonna kill me.

OE's are using it primarily because the stronger spark reduces the chances of misfire, which ultimately reduces emissions. Power gains are likely to be marginal at best except when reaching higher levels of power. High boost brings more resistance in the plug gap so a stronger spark is certainly beneficial there. Higher RPM motors also benefit as the time allowed for each coil to reach saturation is greater than is available in a single coil setup. The amount of tunability available depends on the system it replaces but it would likely be marginal as far as power production is concerned (save for circumstances when a single coild set-up struggles to keep up).

I wasn't aware of the power goals. I'm also not retarded, you could have just said better spark at high boost

I know you know why, but not everyone understands why high boost causes problems with spark...But you are still retarded.
