I don't hear too many issues about their aftermarket coils or caps. I personally have had problems with their boxes, and I have a few friends that have had problems with their boxes as well. Some completely die, but some will produce a miss in the higher upper rpm range which you can see on the dyno sheet. We just switch back to stock and problems are gone. Sometimes they do not go to complete ****, but they just do not perform well...if that makes any sense.

I have had a coil go bad on me, actually had one go bad on me a few weeks ago. I have the MSD dizzy with their coil, and the coil went to **** after like 2 weeks. But I only drove the car a few times LOL. They are going to replace it, that reminds me, I need to call them back cause I forgot to include a receipt with the package.

After it went bad, I went back to stock and everything went great on the dyno. But I did put the MSD back on with the standard SS coil just to see if it could have been a fluke. Cause it does work well with my AEM EMS when it does work. So we'll see, but if it fails again....it's going bye bye.

that's like what i hear. usually a misfire. sometimes does not work with hondata, etc. anything from dist., wires, and boxes. it just doesn't make much sense to me.
