Ignition upgrades

Since there are no official product reviews and mixed sentiments in old posts from last year and beyond, I thought I would try and start a new thread for people to talk about the benefits and drawbacks of an ignition coil pack. I know pilo and screamin deamon have them. Are there any others? For those that have Pilo's was there really a difference and would you recommend it to someone with larger injectors, a 19% and IK22s. thanks in advance

The picture on Pilo's site IS the Screamin' Demon.
I have one. IMO it was wort the money.

I'd rather someone pipe up about using an MSD setup like their Digital SCI.

I ran a 6AL for years and really liked it. I'd like to know of the benefits are the same for our little 4 banger.

i thought it was the same, though some sites claim 40,000 volts and others claim 42,000(for screamin deamon). I guess there is really only one choice. Does the pack bolt right in like the stock unit?

yes it does

add some wires and you will feel a bit of a driviblity difference, mostly in fuel economy and the yoyo... throttle input is smoother than before, as well, fuel economy improved... i cant tell if it had any hp gains... but tops i'd see 1-2 hp really would be a miracle!
