For the guys who think aftermarket coils are better then the OEM coils,suck it up you're wrong

[Wild one]

This should end all of the debate on people asking about coil packs…..No those orange packs from RIPP aren’t going to give you the 30hp they say in all the advertising. OEM coils are on the fastest HEMIS! Don’t get played with that snake oil.

At Blackbird Performance , what might we be into that is long, slim, very fast and beautiful ? and no, I’m not talking about the boss… the Rocky Mountain Rocket, of course.
A huge congratulations to Kevin and Jamie Burnett, for taking it to the NHRA Division event, going out with a 6.44, then 6.42 @ 214.4 in qualifying with an easy, don’t tear stuff up, consistent tune and Kevin has a 0.001 RT on the last one. Top it all off, ahead of eliminations, winning a very deserving Best Appearing Award.

But the MSD coil packs are red!!!!!!!!
That's easily good for higher spark output and and additional 15-RWHP, no?

If you also get the MSD sticker then they're good for at least 50 horsepower

BTW: i never wrote any of this other then the initial title,i copied it off BlackBirds site, they're the ones claiming the aftermarket fancy coloured coils aren't worth a pot to p!$$ in

And they aren't incorrect either!

...and my experience is they aren't reliable, either.

Did anyone else notice the racer with the stock coils lost?

My coil packs were tired after 13.5 years and 180K miles

Since when does a 6.42 with a .001 reaction time lose to a 6.65 with a .026 reaction time. Been awhile since you've been to a dragstrip i'd guess.Maybe look at the small print towards the bottom of the slip,it says "left" 1st by .2538

They're rebuildable,don't throw them out,as the aftermarket coils you installed have a terrible rep of lasting.

Coil cleaning pics

Yea i know my picture taking abilities suck,lol Hopefully you guys can tell how i go about cleaning up the coils from the pic's. The first pic,is just a pic of everything disassembled.If your truck has the resistors under the spring in the coil towers,you'll want to remove them and clean them...

The photo shows the car on the right. Even though his reaction time was slower (.001 vs .026), he was winning up until the 1000' mark. But the FINAL Speed/MPH shows he lost (6.424 seconds @ 214.42 MPH vs 6.652 seconds @ 154.30 MPH).

I've made probably as many passes as anybody on here,and what happens mid track doesn't mean squat,it's who crosses the stripe first and turns on the "win" light is all that matters,so no the guy in the right lane didn't win,contary to what you think. The guy in the other lane either had the clutch tune up wrong and he blew the tires off after the 1.000ft or he broke,which ever way it was,he still lost. If you read they were also running a mild/don't destroy parts tune on Kevins car,and i'm guessing there's more in the car if they lean on it harder,but then they might not win,as very seldom do cars that launch engine parts around the 1200 ft mark win,and i'd lay odds the other guy was worried and leaned on the tune to where he either blew the tires off,or launched parts out the side of the block.
Spinning ain't winning,and launching pistons/blowers etc into the containment blanket at the 1,000 to 1200 ft mark isn't usually winning either

 

[Hanover Fiste]

so no the guy in the right lane didn't win

That's what I said the first time.

 

[Wild one]

That's what I said the first time.

This is what you said the first time,which the way i'm reading it,is you think the right lane won,when it was the car with the "stock coils" in the left lane that won


"Did anyone else notice the racer with the stock coils lost?"

 

[Hanover Fiste]

when it was the car with the "stock coils" in the left lane that won

In my defense, the photo showed the right car, which could lead readers to believe it was that car that had the stock coils; the left car could barely be seen.

I feel like ignition coils are what they really got right on the hemi. You rarely hear them going bad and they outperform most aftermarket coils.

You're putting way to much emphasis on the photo.I'd lay odds the photo is from another run,and was used as you could see the valve covers and coils on it. The time slip and the comment about the numbers ran are what you need to pay attention to,not the picture of the cars at the starting line,that's just common sense bud.
It's well documented that as far as 2 plug coils go the OEM coils are still the best coil you can have,if you switch over to the real high dollar single plug system and the coils that go along with the single plugs,there can be a very slight gain over the OEM set-up,but nobody is doing that unless they're running straight alcohol or better fuel,and they're not running them with the factory computor system

 

[Hanover Fiste]

not the picture of the cars at the starting line,that's just common sense bud.

No, it's not. The picture emphasized the car on the right. The picture should match what the article is describing. Otherwise, it's misleading, which is the case here.

I'll not comment any further.

Yea you're better off not commenting anymore,as you're just digging yourself into a deeper hole,you probably shouldn't have even commented in the first place,if you couldn't figure out the picture wasn't matching the timeslip or the article.Only you couldn't figure that out,and there was nothing misleading at all,as the picture of the car at the tree was more to show the car and the coils it had,if they'd of posted a pic of it in the other lane,you wouldn't be able to see the car or the coils.Maybe you should go to a dragstrip,and observe the track photographers a little more
