? Who with FI is running the LS2 coil?
Just want to get some feedback. This is not a dwell time discussion.
I know Kane has them but he hasnt really been able to drive his car much-----yet.
I dont know of any other FI car with them other than MM?
I know Juan has the MSD version.
Anyone else done this?

So far, almost every FI car I've tuned in person has had them.
Looking through my customer database (15% of which is FI), more than half of the FI people list LS2 coils as a mod.
I can list user names, but I don't want to "out" anyone that doesn't want to be "outed".

Update -
Leads are MSD Ignition 8247.
Trailings are standard LS2, not the Yukon's.
Spark plugs are set to 32.
No misfires....

The D-585s have, for a LONG time been referred to as "LS-2" coils but it is erroneous to do so as the LS-2 coils emit only about 40 mA of current while the D-585s emit about 120 mA (according to the guys at MegaSquirt). The popular MSD coils emit 150 mA but at a slightly lower voltage (according to MSD, themselves).
At this point, I have yet to find a coil with a higher current output.

bingo Ray--thanks for picking up on that. There is a slight difference between the "yukons" and the "ls2" coils oem dwell tables.
Maybe a thread needs to be started under "Ignition set ups for FI"?
Open discussion for the thoughts on coil set ups/wires used and why, capacitors used or not? Maybe someone could actually scope a twin power!

indeed
I cant necessarily promise anything remotely intelligent from my side though(you may think that already :P ) since I kinda stay f*cked up on pain meds
I can say that I understand dielectric breakdown pretty well, and on any coil dont agree with those folks who are "re-gapping" their plugs to deal with or avoid ignition problems. And it isnt just because I see it as a band-aid... I have a feeling it can easily create another complication
