Replacing the stock coils with Blasters? No, they are just bolt and go.

MSD blaster 2's i just got it running again it smoothed out my idle alot and i belive it made the car a little more peppy that maybe just cause the other ones were so old.

Cool thanks. I've been running 2nd gen coils for leading and trailing but was just informed that it's a bad idea for the trailing but I really don't wanna go back to the stock trailing but also don't wanna spend a ton of cash so the blaster 2 sounds perfect.

EDIT: to cover all the bases, FB's and 80 SA's will not need the ballast. Only points will.
