I'm setting the engine in my car this week and putting the dfi in place. Initially I was going to use my TFI distributer, then changed to the dual sync distributer and a buddy of mine mentioned I should look into a coil pack setup. I told him I wasn't even sure if the Gen7 could run them. I don't currently have a crank trigger, but I thought maybe I could use the dual sync in that arrangement if it would work. Thanks,
Rick

guys have ran them with the edis stradegy, using a edis8 module out of a thunderbird (oem) , i personally have many issues with the cop's (oem ones, msd), talking to quite a few tuners and techs and job spetter (reknown accel tuner), they all seem to recommend a huge single coil & dizzy for consistency and being able to run a larger gap with bigger injectors to reduce fouling on plugs, lots of guys have ran dizzys for high rpm use and seems to work , i personally dont see the point of the cop set up and it being so hit and miss. imo

Coil packs are somewhat cool, and a little more up to date, however the distributor works fine on plenty of cars, is less components, less cost, and less to fail....

 

Actually, for quite a few of us it is actually cheaper to go with a COP setup using ls2/truck coils (I just got mine in the mail) than a comparatively "Hot" aftermarket box/coil & dizzy setup.. Hell, they are using them in vehicles making upwards of 1500 horsepower and more....reliably!

 

Haha, do it Rick!!

 

like i said, its hit or miss, if it works for you great, im just giving my opinion on how reliable it was for me, lol

 

I'm just curious, what were the problems you were having? Was it a problem with the coils themsevles, or with the setup with your particular application?

 

where do i start...
