so ive been thinking of doing this since i saw this another-successful-ls1-coil-swap-t435099.html which got me thinking, why not a CA?

could it actually help by switching from single igniter to individual? :confused:
my current build is just to secure that it will be and stay healthy and reliable... :gapteeth:

any feedback would be appreciated... :chuckle:

No reason not to. Get the coils up out of that hot a** plug valley. I was going to do that on my CA then I got poor. :frown:

thats what i figured, cooler coils would mean mean spark would be more win than prior...just the wiring which i can have my tech do and mount...

figured the LS2 coild would be suffice for this...

If your going to run the LS coils apparently the LS2 'Truck' coils are the best of the bunch, you can tell that they are the truck type by the heat sink that they have on the top of the coil.

Here's some info;
