I paid about $80.00 for 8 Global coils off of e-bay about 5 years ago. I ordered a new set today from AIP on e-bay. $66.50 US delivered to my mail box in Dearborn Heights Mi. My plugs are gapped at 25.

Not yet. Until I hear or read something good I'm not pulling the trigger. The stockers are doing fine. Just put a fresh set of HTO's gapped .035 this past Saturday and rotated the coils. Removed the Brisk that had less than 10k on them. She's running like a scalded dog now. God I love those HTO plugs, the Brisk don't hold a candle to them.

Cheapest way is through Advance Auto. Go to there website and get them. Then enter whatever code they have for 15-20%. Expect to pay $80-85 after shipping. I bought this set off of Sugar-rush when he traded his truck in.

Here ya go Ironsin the P20 code still works and gives you 20% off. http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...m=autolite+ht0

Thanks for the link! I still have some HTOs in my tool box from when I went to Brisk plugs. Right now I think I'm getting spark blowout cause my truck seems to be richer then normal at WOT. I may do the granatelli coil wires too.

Yes do the GMS coil spring upgrade. Best $100 you'll spend right.

Yea I just did a fuel filter the other day. I think next on the list of things to do is plugs, upgrade to Granatelli solid connectors. Maybe go 3" pulley to go from 9.5psi to around 11psi (Im guessing).

I dont want to go any more then that for boost as I dont want to buy fuel pump yet. If this one quits I may just find a ford GT one to stick in or something. I still need to move my IAT sensor into a intake runner but I dont want to pull the intake off out of lazyness. Cams and torque converter are also on my list of things to do.

Ohhh sooo lazy and so broke right now

When I went back to the stock COPs, I stripped the coil wires out of the GMS set and haven't looked back. FWIW, I never hear any talk of upgraded COPs in the GT500 community as a performance upgrade. I know they're not the same, but it would surprise me if they used any higher voltage than our trucks do.

No reason it wouldn't work. $239 is not bad either. I'll have to call over there and talk with them about it further.
