I hope your coils work, we've had all sorts of issues with LS2 coils in single mod getting fried! but you should be right in multi coil mode!

if they trigger the cutout while cranking i have plans to wire a ballast resistor into the power feed to lower voltage and slow the charge rate while cranking and if it does it at low revs ill either hard wire it on 9V off the ballast full time or run a spare flex output to go 12v when its reving high enough LOL

sounds like in that case LS1 coil would be easier!

yeah i just had to suck it up and try these as the only other set i could get here are $800 ouch or online not that cheap with postage. i could swap the ls1 coils off the vt as long as it has no issues running ls2 coils LOL.now to go get creative on modding some leads to fit the small coil pins LOL

so after some research the coils are D585 and shouldnt trigger themselves until dwell above 9ms thats pretty high :D

brap brap brap but sadly no turbo on my vx so no wpppppsssssssssttutututut.im guessing we might go through a few balancers this season its pretty hard on the balancer at low revs LOL.i had a miss and thought the coils were a fail but i think it was bad leads or maybe a coil arcing to earth AGAIN LOL reving smooth now.you definately know these coils pack a punch when they arc through 5 layers of tape and light up the surrounding area like you have a torch flashing in the engine bay LOL
