Dunno, but I'd still like to see the comparison specs between the two before I commit to either one.

Folks a vendor offered a group buy. Anyone want to go with Pilo? Pilo is offering a group buy and they even sell a different coil.

I'm out too, I bought a Screamin' Demon from Randy Webb. I love this coil, it really does improve startup and warmup. It doesn't hurt anything when you're thrashing the engine either.

Is not drilling the holes. They come with a metal sleve in the holes that are 2 tight for the OEM bolts. Remove those sleves and insert stock bolts. Or just replace the stock bolts with M6 bolts the same length.

Be careful when removing stock coil not to loose any of the rubber grommets.

Dont forget the sequence of the plugs, they fire in sequence.

Always disconect battery when doing mods. Just to be safe.

YU Neva eva know.

Piece of cake, just switch one wire at a time. Don't be suprised if your screws have snotty green verdigris on them from the brass female threads on the car.
