Aftermarket coil packs?
2 reading
He doesn't sell the coil packs, just the spring delete. With that said I don't have any recommendations for the OP.
I dunno if there are any performance after market packs. But rock auto doss sell defferent brands. That bejng said, when I ordered my Delphi pack from they, they had the part listed to fit different cars, like a Saab iirc.double check that, the research around and see if anyone makez performance packs for the Saab. In theory, if we use the same packs as a Saab, then after market performance packs for that Saab shoild fit us.
Being that it is direct ignition for each plug, I believe that the packs are already able to deliver more than enough volts, amps, etc than is actually needed. The real issue is what James addresses with the supersparkz. The spring on the coil is the weak link. Just my opinion of course. BTW, I sell auto parts for a living and I have sold several of the Accel performance packs for fords, but I have never had anyone ask about them for a chevy of any sort. Again just a thought.
I have supersparks that'll be here tomorrow but just was wondering if the had coil packs sometimes my truck throws a code and says there multiple miss fired going on at cylinder #5 doesn't sound different and goes away seems to only happen if I let the trick idle along time

how does the coil look? I've heard that the seals can go bad and will let moisture in under the coil. that can corrode and rust up the coil. I had a bolt break on my #5 pack and it rusted out the under side of the coil, I was getting the CELs for misfires.
Yeah when you take the boots off your coil packs to install the supersparkz, be sure to clean everything good. I took a little piece of fine grit sandpaper and sanded the electrodes to get a better connection. James says you can just put the supersparkz on and you're ready to go, and you are, but I like spending a little extra time to clean things up as best I can.
Also, go up to Advance and pick you up one of those little packets of spark plug/electrical connector grease and a pack of anti-seize. Put the anti-seize on the threads of the little bolt that holds the coil pack in, and put the electrical grease on the outside of the supersparkz so it will slide in the rubber boot easier. This grease will also help protect it from any moisture that might get trapped in there.
As far as the misfire on cyl #5, it seems that misfires are fairly common if we let our trucks sit and idle for extended periods. I wouldn't worry about a misfire on one cylinder much. When you start getting a P0300 code (random misfire) then you want to start looking at MAP/MAF sensors, coil packs, new spark plugs, etc, and hope it's not the head. People like to freak totally out when they get a P0300, but more often than not, it's something that can be corrected. My P0300 code was caused by a broken wire on my MAP sensor. I was experiencing every symptom of a bad head, running rough, etc, and I found that loose wire, fixed it, and it's never done it again.
Even bad gas or a little water in your fuel can cause a misfire code, so always make sure you're putting good quality fuel in your truck.

in simple terms.... you cut the wires on your stock coil packs, and wire it into the msd packs
Ha! I was wondering there for a bit . . . I haven't seen a coil like that since I sold my trusty old '67 Chevy 1/2 ton truck.
Damn, I miss that Frankensteined SOB
