(I don't know things) I got confused reading the user guide for my PS1000. I thought it said to never wire the haltech straight to the coils, but the LS2 coil has a built in ignitor...
In an FD do I keep the stock ignitor when using LS2 coils, or do I wire the coils straight from the haltech? Thanks.

Maybe someone else has a good idea, but I don't. Other than cranking the engine with the plugs out, but that really doesn't tell you much about what's going on internally.
That's an odd range for a misfire. I'd guess a trigger issue or it's running too rich.

I heard that the LS7 coils are a better upgrade then the LS2 can some one veryfy this I heard that the LS2/D585 coils will not auto discharge. I heard that the LS7/D510C's have more effient windings..

I found a video on youtube a while back comparing the LS1, Mercury IGN-1A and LS1 truck coils using an oscilloscope. very definitive. i can't find it now. anyone else have the link?

LS1 coils, MSD magnacore wires and NGK 9 plugs (i did use some NGK 10.5 plugs for most of this season)
running waste spark on E6x. TO4S 15psi.

IMO the IGN-1A coils are the best choice, for sure. I didn't realize you were running them in wastespark. Guess I assumed you were running direct-fire and that the truck coils would be a snap in swap. What ECU are you using?
If you need a set of the IGN-1A, let me know.

so i had a very up and down weekend. realizing that my coils were worn out i swapped in the factory leading coils hoping i could lower my egt with a better burn. i ended up. recovering most of my lost power this year and was loving it.
down side is that i was now making way too much power for the softer "low hp" suspension set up and an early morning greasy track helped me spin my car into concrete wall.
and this being the last year of our local track, i'm going to take a leave of absence from the racing scene, pay off some debt and in a year or two come back with something new.
I would also now recommend factory leading and IGN-1A trailing coils for anyone on a E6 haltech.

The best way to test these coils is to use an HEI spark/ignition tester tool. It is designed to impart a specific load on the ignition coil that stresses it into a pass/fail spark mode.
http://www.amazon.com/KD-Tools-2756-.../dp/B0002STSBC (HEI version shown on the right, standard version on the left)
This was originally a GM factory tool, but a number of tool companies offer it. Be sure to get the HEI version (cannot see center electrode) and not the standard ignition version (center electrode protrudes from the ceramic like a regular sparkplug). If you get an intermittent or no spark there is an issue.

It is not a spark plug and every training manual recommends not using a regular plug because it will not impart the specific load required to test the coil properly.
