    Ignition coils upgrade or replacement

    Is there any option for a shorter ignition coil. The ones we have a pretty tall and im waiting to make a spark plug cover to have the engine look more like a older racey engine. I doubt theres any option for a car like this but would love to know.

    No I haven't heard of anyone using shorter ignition coils. The other ones I've see used required adapters to mount them. Just make some spark plug wires and remote mount the coils next to the spare tire for better weight distribution.

    I don't think you will ever rev High Enough orny 2 increase the gap or prevent blowout from boost so this certainly doesn't seem like it would give a performance advantage. If you find the right impedance coils I've use motorcycle stick coils for a coil on plug set in the past. That might be an option let you cut a cool aluminum cover and dress up the engine bay.
