Mine are OK but I was thing about some winter projects and I was thinking about upgrading my coil pack if it is worth it.
And may be upgrading my intake to the

I have read that you won't really notice any improvements with the MSD coils. But they do look great, I would think it's a similar equivalent to L67 coils.

Thanks for passing on the link Mitch. However, they're pending payment from Jon...
I believe the ones I have for sale are the newer and supposedly "upgraded" coil packs from MSD. I've heard people call them out for their terrible performance and major misfiring issue, but I've had NO misfires. I have my Aeroforce monitoring KR and misfires at all times ever since I put these coil packs on. I was very hesitant because of the terrible reviews I've seen but I see no issues with the ones I have.
Since they were my first MSD product, I say you can't go wrong with them. Painting your current packs isn't necessarily a bad idea either though. Orange or white coil packs would be cool

Are you speaking from first hand experience or just passing along something you have seen someone else post all over the internet where anything, be it fact or fiction, can be said?
I don't at all see how they are bad. ZERO misfiring issues for an entire summer on mine. I can't speak for their durability just yet but I will have no problem using them next summer if they are not sold.

A summer is not a big deal. There are threads and THREADS about people who have cracked MSD coils and arching.
I have 186,000 miles AND almost 13 years on my STOCK coil packs. Everyone that does their own tuning / dyno tunes their cars with MSD coils has to actually take the coils off first.
The aftermarket is just not worth going to. GM and Ford do great things with their ignition systems. They are personally better designs than anything in the aftermarket.
It's a very expensive mod with ZERO gains, just to have red coil packs that say MSD.

How about you leave the reviews of MSD coil packs to those who actually have used them? You are part of the problem as to why they get such a bad rep. I just don't see how you can put down a product you personally have never even used?
I have no problem with you promoting your stock coil packs, but I've had two OEM coil packs fail in only 84k.. Again, I won't at all speak for the MSDs durability, but they haven't failed me yet. And as for expensive, yes they are expensive depending on where you get them. I don't want to ruin a potential sale of mine but I got all three cheaper than it would have cost me to get STOCK packs, so I had no problem taking a chance on them.

So you've never used MSD coil packs on YOUR vehicle and witnessed them fail?

They are expensive coils and are known the fail. Whether they have made updates or not that actually help, who knows, none of us have put them through the test of time to see what conditions they may or may not fail under.

Justin, I think what Mike is getting at is that you have only used them for a summer. You really haven't put the coils through the test of time.

BUT, if someone wants to say these packs are BAD for our engines, without ever using them, that's where I have a problem. Speaking from my personal experience, they are not at all BAD for our engines.
