I'm collecting mpg stats running with an MM AP tune. I'm up to 3 pre-bhr coil samples. Hope to have at least 5 prior and and 5 post to work from.

And I'm quickly approaching the 20,000 mile mark working off the assumption I'm still running stock plugs and coils (bought my car with 8,000 miles on it).

these are for you then, and I am sure you will feel a bit more throttle response given your oem coils are on their way out

I've been contempletating about what ignition system to get for my car Mazport or BHR. BHR and all the ban wagon supporters say the Mazsport is not good because mazsport has gone out of business, and for some reason there products stop working. My only concern is GM is not doing so well right now. Where is BHR going to get there coils in the near future if GM goes under if i need my coils replaced? Do you guys use suppliers from china or hongkong? I'm just a concerned consumer because i know BHR uses Yukon coils and Mazsport uses MSD. In my opinion MSD is a more reputable when it comes to ignition products and performance not like the yukon coils. THe yukon coil is designed for a piston motor not a rotary motor. If GM goes under its going to be like trying to get DAEWOO parts and i refuse to buy these coils at autozone etc...

even if gm goes under, there are way too many cars on the street for someone
" not " to make parts for them. most of the parts made for our cars are out
sourced to other company's. granted they would be hurt also, but the parts
demand will be to high for them not to be made anymore...

Were not going to run out of Yukon Coils. The day that happens the world will run out of trees..
The Yukon coils will more than likely outlast your car.
And if they run out of them,, which I very much DOUBT.
Then we'll switch to the LS2 coils,which these are based on.

Why is there a waiting list for the BHR ignition system if you guys don't have a problem getting Yukon coils?

1) Support of this product is not done on a "bandwagon". It is done by people whom have actually read all that I have discussed regarding exactly why I chose to go with the coils we are using.
2) GM may not be "doing well" but they are runing their Yukon/Tahoe plant 24/7. Why might that be? It is certainly what has caused the coils to be so difficult for me to obtain.
3) We use Delphi. If the coils were made in China I might actually have a few thousand in my hands right now.
4) Mazsport did NOT use MSD. They used Bosch.
5) If you think the MSD coils are better than the Yukons I think you might want to look into that a little deeper. If they were I would use them.
6) The Yukons (and especially the previous LS coils) are more than up to the task.
7) It doesn't matter WHERE you get the coils as long as they are a Delphi product.
8) Should the need to switch to a different coil arise I have not yet determined which will be used as a replacement.

If my wholesale supplier can no longer get them for the price we have agreed upon I have a few choices before me, one of which would be to simply raise my price. If I did that I would STILL beat Mazsport's old price and the rest of the kit would still be far better than anybody else's offering. Another choice would be to offer the kit without coils and let you source them yourself.

It's not that they have run out of them. We could buy them all day long at Higher prices. And start charging more for the Coil Kits. About $200.00 more.
But in order to give the best prices we are stuck with the original vendors. To a point.
We could buy a bunch of them tomorrow for about $50.00 more a piece.
Do you want to pay that much more for the kit?

You have no idea what you are talking about. Everything in your post is false.

Charles and Erick have already addressed your concerns so much of what I could add would just be reinforcing that.

The issues with Mazsports Ignition Solution go beyond the fact that they are no longer in business. There are very well documented and discussed issues with the kit they provided.

As Charles pointed out, there's no "bandwagon" with this ignition upgrade. We did our own testing and performance evaluations on the race track and street driving here in Arizona.

If you have any further concerns I'd be happy to address them via PM so I can more directly answer any questions you have.
