Hey guys, ive been trying to decide between the LT-8 and the LTX-8. Are the coils that come with the LTX-8 better than the stock ones? And if so to what extent? I saw a picture of someone using aftermarket coils, and I liked the way they were smaller, and how they cleaned up the engine bay a bit, but can I justify the Extra money for them?

 

The stock coils are pretty darn good.I have seen 500hp plus at the wheels without any problems.
The bosch ones are easier to mount especially when fitting an ecu to an early model car without the standard coilpacks.
The bosch ones are a slight bit better performance wise but there isn't a great amount in it.
If you aren't planning on making 550 hp plus then stick with the factory ones & save your money
