If you haven't got definitive proof from anything other than a butt dyno ...then correct ...........there is no comparison.
Also :Old worn out OEM coils vs new IGN-1A coils isn't a (valid) comparison.

The IGN-1A coils shaved 1.5 seconds off my 0-60 time, added 4mpg to my fuel economy, smoothed out my idle and bolstered low end torque. Not gauging the latter on butt dyno as much as snap-back of neck.
To clarify: my reference to OEM coils does not refer to "worn out" OEM coils, but rather ANY OEM coil, regardless of it's age/mileage.

I gota say the auto dim multi obdii display, as RX8 is my daily. It's a must for night driving also since I've installed this I did not use Bluetooth obdii dongle to
clean or scan a code.

I put in the Axialflow shifter last week, but it will be something to get used to as it requires more effort. Anyway, I would have to say the Versatuner flash, which has a stock tune that takes advantage of the D585 coils, intake mods, exhaust mods, and ups oil injection (Sohn adapter). Close second being the CARB E.O legal Magnaflow cat, after the OEM cat burned up totally clean and hollow. Close third being upgraded suspension once the OEM failed.

Best mod for me would be getting a car lift. Think I use the lift more than my car if I'm being honest.
