IGN-1 ignition coil question
i'm been searching around to improve my ignition setup but i guess i'm limited for now. i see that a lot of people are using the IGN-1 coils and i'm wondering if is possible to use them with stock FC igniters or have even try with any results? thanks

I use AEM Coils ..the IGN 1A's that have the built in Trigger on the Haltech Ps1000.
not sure about your system if if can use those..you never elaborated on what you have or what it is on.

Yes you can it's the same as the "IGN 1A" but without built in igntors.
A (towards edge of coil) - Positive terminal, to battery power
B (center) - Negative terminal, wire to ignition module
C (towards inside of coil) - Secondary ground, connect to engine block.
Hope this helps.

You could always get a second opinion in the Microtech Section of the Forum.
Sorry,I'm not all that versed with the aftermarket ecu stuff.
I can install but I can't tune..heh!

Yes, you can still run wastespark just needs to be wired in correctly. The lt8 and the wastespark ignition is holding you back. The ideal setup would be direct fire with ign1a coils set to 4.5ms. But you can't do that to the lt8 unless you could ship it to Australia and get it reflashed. But even then there's better ECU's out there. I just made the switch from microtech to haltech ps1k and I must say reality sucked in!

As said, yes, you do not need any of the stock components when using the IGN-1A coils.
If you're switching to Haltech anyway, wait to get the coils and do it all at once. Then you can just wire them for direct fire and not have to rework everything.
