I've seen a LOT of cars that change the coil packs when they change the spark plugs, most seem to go to the ACCEL or MSD coils. Is there a reason, like the stock ones suck or break, or is this just a mod for like 5 RWHP that people do just because. The car is a 2006 GT.

I wouldn't bother changing them unless you have F/I.

+1 on a stock or mostly stock car they are not a cost effective mod.

No gains to be had but poor reliability.

I wondered the same thing... I'm runnin 11+lbs of boost and I was thinking about them, but, noticing no one seems to bother,. they must be pointless, or just not needed...
