Hey I was just wondering for anyone out there running a COP set up... How do you like it? Could you tell a difference when you put it on?

yeah, does anyone know if your car idles smoother and burns cleaner? I am running BPR7ES in my GSX and they seem to get pretty dirty.

yeah it deff gives it a cleaner look, and i've only seen it on 500+ hp cars. and i don't think it burns any better. i'm running the same plugs and they're not too bad

Ok here is the question do you think that I should go with coil on plugs for $200 or Magnecor + New plug plate for $95?

well if it were me i'd just go with magnecores and new plate. but it depends on weather u're gunna build the car in the future or not. if you're planning on not going crazy then there's no point in getting the coil on plug

I like the coil on plug. I don't really notice anything different though. I think the theory behind it is that the spark is stronger and therefore is more inclined to ignite the compressed mixture in the cylinders. Like the other guys said though I don't think i'll notice a difference until my hp numbers go up
