Justin, good point with the mods...No way am I spending $250 on the MSD 6a box...not now. I might go into the better mods, but first I need to get rid of SD and get MAF! Quick question: Is the A9L comp. for manual tranny only?

The A9L is for manual transmissions, but in a pinch, it would operate an engine with a non-electronic automatic such as a C6 (the A9P is the automatic transmission version, among others).

I passed up on it for now...I'm working on a small idle problem before I do any mods. Whats the point of mods if your truck isnt running right, right?

A new coil will make minimal difference unless its fixing a problem or taking advantage of other changes. At best you might end up with a smoother idle. When people notice gains its usually because of other changes they've made at the same time.

Think of it this way, say you're in a room filled with gas. Do you tink it will explode bigger when you flick your bic or light a flare?
