MSD's Blaster 2 Coil On Plug High Output Ignition Coils
So I bit the bullet and bought these and according to UPS they are on the truck for delivery RIGHT NOW!!!
Since my car is bone stock..is there going to be any noticeable difference with these? Also, should I go with the FORD plugs or the Autolite HT1 plugs? I have heard pros and cons to both....
I put the HT1s in about 4 months back and I am having some hesitation issues now..hence the new COPs and thought I should also change the plugs again just so I have everything new. Anyone else having issues..suspected issues with the HT1s??

My understanding is that a) COPS do very little for stock engines or even mildly modded ones, and 2) have caused misfires at high rpm. None of the aftermarket tuners, except Sniper, support changing dwell to maximize performance for COPS, so it's not likely you'll see much at all. That's just my two cents: here's a great thread on the subject, by the way http://www.modularfords.com/forums/s...d.php?t=107697 .
I'm sure we'd like to get your impressions, as this isn't a mod you see written about all that often nowadays.
Oh, my shop recommends the stock type plug, so that's what I use...

Autolite HT0's are 1 step colder, HT1's are the similar to stock.
Have not seen any hard evidence that the aftermarket COP's give you any improvement over stock on N/A.
I'll be saving that $ for other mods myself.
Better bang-for-buck would be a tune/CAI if you've not already done so.

This was still cheaper than what FORD wanted for a complete set of OEM COPs

Dont run HT0s plugsthose are colder plugs for N2O or FI. If you run them they will probably foul from being to cold.
The COPS are a great mod. I ran the original GMS COPs and then MSD COPs and now I have the new Hard Core GMS COPs. I've seen dyno results for both N/A and FI.
I ran them when N/A and when FI and they do not cause misfires (?) and wll only improve your performance. Ona N/A car they are seeing 5-7 RHP increase on peak. If you had FI you would see more,. Overall the car runs smoother, less hesitation and will make some more horsepower. It will also burn fuel more efficiently.
I was happy with the MSDs but went to the higfher voltage Hard Cores when I raised my boost.

damn, now I'm thinking about going aftermarket cop's again. The smoother idle/rev sure would help with cams no doubt. I may just get the hardcore GMS cops. I'll have a centri s/c early next year and have ruled out every other bolt-on except aftermarket cop's and electric water pump... still waiting one these "phantom" weapon-x cops...
