Coil Pack upgrade?

[Tristan Shepersky]

Hello, so I did all new plugs with the NGK 6510 plugs, MSD wires, and replaced the COP boots. I found 2 coils that the resistor pellet had eaten away the splines and won’t sit upright. That being said I want to do coils next. I wanted to go MSD but seen an install video where someone had terrible luck with the MSD coil packs. Maybe he messed up? Any recommendations for upgraded coils other than MSD? Thanks in advance!

I had the same dilemma….ended up goin OEM, after many negative reviews and experiences with aftemarket coils in particular the MSD brand

Don't buy the OEM coil packs off of Amazon.. 99% of the are knock off's, plus the Ford dealer will NOT warranty them.

Anybody have any experience with the Granatelli Motorsports coilpack? Yes, they are hella expensive, but they claim a big power boost below redline, where oem is designed to peak.

Not to be rude but this is the Gen 1 section.
You really do not want a hotter or bigger spark, it will cause pinging when the motor is laboring at lower rpms.
OEM coils are really good.

Good point. I'm just daydreaming while my Gen 1 has been on stands for a year, my ecoboost is getting new turbos & exhaust manifolds, and I'm renting a Toyota.

Toyota , I hope you get that Gen1 done soon.

When I installed a whipple last year, I went with MSD coil packs and wires. Have had zero issues.

That's fine, I'm still with original OEM coils 11 years Supercharged.
But I'm only with 38,000 miles in 13 1/2 years.
I don't go off-roading or puddle pounding in mud and wash the engine down once a year with Simple Green.
