That's actually pretty cheap.
I have the 5.7 Hemi and I'm considering the "Sultans of Spark" myself, way more power than any other one's out there.
"Spark output up to 40,000 volts. That is at least a 15%-20% increase in spark energy over the voltage deprived stock coils." (per their web site)

Those s.o.s. coils are reasonably priced around $159/6

I just need to make sure by increasing the voltage that much that I'm not going to fry anything?
This is getting out of my realm for sure.

I found out a few things... first Acell and MSD are made by the same company, they say the MSD coils are better.
The S.O.S coil packs are made by HEI in Tennessee. There are many options over stock. Still trying to figure out if my 2014 pentastar has the 2 or 3 wire coil packs...

I am no gear head so bear with me lol.
Would the Higher Voltage Coils burn plugs out faster ?
Would the Amp draw be OK for the wiring over time ?
Curious Thanks

Let us know what you find out, please.
I have a brand new set of "Taylor Shorties" just waiting to be installed and wanted to do the coils at the same time.

From what I am reading they tell you to make the spark plug gaps bigger...I'm still trying to find out on more voltage, hopefully some one on here would be able to answer that

Yeah, I already knew about opening the gaps, but that's about all I know too.
