So I was changing the spark plugs last weekend and as i removed the stock coil packs i noticed that three or four of the rubber boots of them were held together by tape... I already had to replace the #5 coil pack when i got the car two months ago, but after changing the spark plugs and seeing what i saw i figure it is now time to just buy a whole new set of them. what do you guys suggest? the car is stock except for an off road H pipe and Flowmasters but i plan on some other bolt ons nothin to crazy though. one of my buddies told me the best buy was Granatelli coil packs. suggestions? thanks! sorry havent updated the sig yet... the car is a 99 GT

There's been very little testing done with a/m coil packs so it might be hard to find alot of opinions but GMS advertises a gain even on a stock motor.

get Motorcraft replacements and be done with it. That way, you know they will definitely work properly and last you probably another 80000+ miles. Granatelli is well known for having garbage for a lot of his products, so I'd steer clear.

:Word: I've heard bad things about Granatelli, and personally I'll take reliability over a questionably marginal gain. I just checked my friendly neighborhood parts dept., they stock a bunch of the boots, MSRP is $11.90 each.
