    yeah im on the same shoes.. on a totally none related topic "vpv6wagon" so you use that twin thorttle body setup on your wags.. just wondering does that touch your bonnet. Cause the way i was going to do mine i would have to cut a massive hole in my bonnet but i dont wanna have to chop my bonnet anymore. To noticable.

    from what ive heard they are just yellow dude, as in they offer no noticable improvment. also ive heard that they are more prone to fail , as in people have had theirs fail when peeps wth normal vn s2- vt packs have lasted longer.
    they are about $76 a coil so times it by 3 and there is your price

    no i designed it so it won't. just enough room though but i reckon a bonnet bulge looks cool. not using it at the moment, i'm in the process of rebuild my spare motor for forced inducdion so i'm going to wait to fit it up, but it does fit i fitted it to my spare vn just to make sure it would. do u know the part no. for the msd coils (i lost my street commodores issue no.88 they were fitted 2 v6 vengence).

    MSD ignition would do shitall to the performance of your car. Theres nothing wrong with what it has unless it has been worked or atleast upgraded fuel delivery system ,it would be overkill otherwise. Plus they dont make anything specifically to fit.
    So no it wouldnt be worth getting

    Yeah but that had beefed up internals so it would benefit from a small MSD coils. Im talking about a standard motor it would gain no benefit.

    Yeah on a stock engine its fairly pointless. I have heard as well that they are prone to failing more than the stock commodore ones. No idea why though. I presume they would come with a warranty though? Atleast 12 month.
