If your staying under 350hp keep your factory coil packs.

Over 350hp run lt10s+X4box with 4 X trailing coils.


You thread is a little confusing though, if your going to use an lt8, YOU MUST USE BOTH YOUR LEADING AND TRAILING FACTORY COIL PACKS.

depends what type of mixtures you are running.

best ive been able to do with factory coil packs is around 420rwhp with 10:1 afrs. you can go leaner but at th cost of engine reliability.

with the power output u looking for i would stay stock and save your pennies for other upgrades , im running stock leading and trailing with 3msd 6al but i was running stock with no auxilary and my car was running perfect. making 383 to wheels at 14lbs of boost. so i would just keep stock. i saw u are buying lt8s with the s u can only use stock . if you going with x model than you have to use bosch or other coils . now if you going with ltt10 you have the choice of stock or aftermarket coils.

Like the guy above said, if you have an lt8 you have no choice in the matter. MUST RUN factory coil packs.
