MSD "performance" coil pack opinions

Title says it all.
Will I notice any difference at all if I put it on my unmolested JCW?

Agree, use the OEM coils. I have read this several times and have been told this by knowledgeable folks.

Only coil that actually provides more voltage than stock IS :
screamiscreamingqnd another cheaper off brand thats not worth using due to high failure rate ( had one fail on me in 2x weeks). no point really in upgrading stock as stock is by far the most dependable and has adequate voltage for even 2x step colderplugs gapped to .5 , nology hotwires and running 21psi with meth ect , trust me you won't get any benefits no matter how deep into the build, save the money for a better proven mod. Lol trust me. I've tried all the coilpacks out there.
