Which one do you use, and which one do you recomend?
|
on a n/a i would stick with the stock stuff, it works very well
|
I have the FC 1000 for over a year no complaints
|
Why would'nt you recommend doing so?

The factory ignition system can handle upwards of 400HP. The best mod you can do is leave the factory wires in place with the factory ignition and use a new set of spark plugs.
|
Maybe I am saying the wrong thing here. What I want is to bump up the output of the spark. Not change the whole system. Sorry for the confusion. Is what I am talking about is maybe a Blaster Coil?

I definately second this. I talked to a few DSM owners and I guess some of them have used our coils due to the high output they offer in the first place. You could run an upgraded controller or something or you could even switch to a whole new setup entirely but I don't find an upgrade of anything but plugs and wires to be an improvement. |

I am pushing 500hp using stock coils and 4 NGK (11)s. There is no need to do this other than just because. Unfortunately that seems to be a good enough reason for a lot of you. |
Thanks for clearing that up for me!

stock FC coils are better than blaster coils

What about upgrading just the wires? Is that supposed to help, or is it wasted money?

It is not that stock coils are better than blaster coils, they are just not needed until you get up above 500hp. If you were to upgrade to 3 MSD 6a's, for instance, you would need to upgrade to blaster coils and a size 10 wire. Blaster coils are good coils, but for what he wants the stock coils are a better choice. |

I got a Mallory Hyfire 6 capacitive-discharge ignition, stock coils, and have much easier starting, cold idling, etc
|
I'm running the factory units.

Upgraded wires will probably make a small margin of difference but a while back. Really old decrepid factory wires can make a car run sub par but I have yet to see someone showing me a physical reason why one set of fancy wires is better than another. |

I would just by a new set of size 8 wires. Many people prefer the RE Amimiyas or the Hotwires, but I have seen no real proof that one is better than the other. The stock wires are made by NGK and are good wires, I would just buy a new set and call it a day. They should be relatively cheap.
The stock wires are not made by NGK. The dealers sell the NGKs, but the factory ones are made by Yazaki. There is difference between the NGK's and the Yazakis. |

Thanks for correcting me, that is just what I was told. I have never bought wires from the dealership, personally. |
