ZZP Upgraded LSJ Ignition Coil Review

Hey guys, I purchased the ZZP ignition coils on Black Friday (after months of stalking them on their site), and decided I should give a little review on them.... Well, for one, they work! My car makes 299+ whp, flows 40+ lbs/min of air, and revs to 7750 rpm. To prevent spark blowout, I needed to run a 0.032" gap with the stock ignition coils. With the ZZP coils, I can now run a 0.036" spark plug gap (an increase of 0.004" and approx. 0.001" larger than the factory 07' gap). I actually almost got away with a 0.039" gap, but I ended up experiencing some spark blowout at 7500 rpm, so I decided to back it down a tad, and to take into consideration potential spark gap increasing over time. All testing was performed on a nice crisp 38*F NEPA day. The larger gap has the car idling and running smoother than before, and the acceleration seems to have improved as well. All around the car just feels smoother and stronger. Now someone with the ability to mess with the spark dwell will get a little more out of these coils for sure, but even for us guys who can't, they are a worth while purchase. A++ job on these ZZP. Thanks!!

The few other people I talked to said they were able to increase the gap ~.005", so they seem like pretty consistent reviews

I could have def increased 0.005"... I just didn't want to push it too far and have blowout down the line when the gap opens up a bit. It's always cold in NEPA, so I wanted to have that extra cushion ya know?

I did manage one pull w/o blowout at 0.039", but I was feathering the throttle due to wheel spin, so I didn't count it.

I was having issues at ~.031 so i dropped to .028. I would be happy if I could get back up at or above .032 without going custom ignition. We will find out in the spring!

I missed out on the black friday sale. I didnt know they did a preorder for the lnf coils, so I didnt even bother.

I was pretty sad when I realized I missed out on the 130 dollar deal, but I bought them on the 10% off or whatever day anyway. sucks to suck.

Yeah... I couldn't pass them up at $128 shipped to my door.

They shipped them that day to, and I received them the following Wed. Pretty impressive for how swamped they probably were with orders.

I got lucky and have the l61 that shares the newer coils with the lnf. I was super excited when they announced they were working on them

During the black friday sale, or just before it. if you went to the ignition tab it would show cobalt coilpacks and it let you select LNF. :00000 I didn't have the money to buy them and they didn't even announce them either lol.

You talkin to me??

I won't sell my car. Way back in 2012 I thought about it, but threw that idea out fast.

My car has too many rare parts and hard work put into her to go and sell it.
