The twin power w/harness is a direct bolt-on job and has been proven to work great even with stock coils. The FC1000 will require some wire splicing and is recommended that you use a TII coil sense it has been known to burn out fd coils. That beeing said I run the Jacobs with an FC coil and it has worked flawlessly for me for the past 3 years! I don't see a reason to pay the extra $ just to save a little time installing the amp. Either way, both are quality products.

I didn't like the fc1000. It doesnt kill FD leading coils, but it's also not as powerful as the old style pro packs. Jacobs is under new ownership and their new products are not of the same quality as their old stuff according to what I was told.
I'd buy the twinpower despite the higher cost and be done with it. I believe rx7.com sells that unit on their site as well.
