at what point would it be neccessary to get an aftermarket coil? i have an msd blaster, the terminal got broken off the end. i can buy a stock replacement for like 12 bucks, the msd is 45. its christmas, im on a budget, my truck is about to be featured in a mag and i need this thing to move by the weekend. i could care less at this point as to what it does, because i never felt a difference in the first place. i have a friend that says those coils are useless without the ignition box and that fords ignitions are actually pretty good. so, can i just get the stocker and be ok?

mods are mac cai, 77mm pro-m, 65mm tbody, explorer intake, gt-40 iron heads worked alot, e-cam, 1.6rr's, Hooker Lt's.

the stock TFI ignition is a very good ignition, IMHO. i tend to be with your friend - to maximize an aftermarket coil, one kinda needs the box.
how much HP are you moving? congrats on the magazine deal.

You should try and get a better price on that coil somewhere. I got mine for $35 Canadian.

Mav, you get an MSD for less than 35 bucks??
locally they are over 50 and catalogs are not much cheaper from what i have seen.... interesting. (i thought 35 sounded decent).

Bart, i will keep an eye peeled for your ride.
