The coils leaned the A/F out .2, so he added fuel to get the A/F back and it settled at about 17hp peak gain. He did not have another set of plugs to experiment with opening the gap.

On an 06 Mustang GT naturally aspirated, the results were about what I would expect...1.5hp and 1.5 tq gain. The change was made over the course of 7 pulls, the car was up to temp and it was giving consistent numbers. Again, stock plugs and gap, just swapping coils.
Did they swap the coil boots? It seems the factory boot has a lot of resistance.

I assumed it was a complete swap, coil and boot. I know they sell the boots by themselves, but I was not aware that GMS sold the coil with no boot. I'll ask him the next time I talk to him though.

I installed the GMS coils on my V10 but haven't gotten it dynoed again to see if there has been any change. The main reason I got them is because I had a couple OEM one's go bad and the deal that I got on the GMS coils I couldn't pass up.
