Default Upgraded Coil on Plug

Anybody here used the Accel, GMS or MSD Coil on Plug kits? Do they make the car run any better? Would they fry out the plugs much faster?

Won't make any difference on an otherwise stock car (I.e. nothing but bolt-ons, and assuming that one of the bolt-ons isn't a blower or turbo), except that the pretty colors look nicer under the hood...

Its gonna take ALOT before you acutally need it. Not gonna get anything out of it even on the average FI car (or even the average built motor car).

Todays factory ignition systems are putting out stock more voltage than alot of yesterdays "aftermarket" or upgrade stuff. Even if you do start to get spark blowout... just buy a BAS and be done with it.

i have the ones from accel...... and that's only becausea few the stockers were shot so it wasn't really a mod for me. personally i'd save the 200+ bucks for a shifter or something
