As good as any I hear. I've not used them, but will if they're available.

If you need them just to replace a defective one, go for it.

but if you are looking for performance gains, you will not see much ; if any.

Todays electronic ignition systems are so good, That is little the aftermarket can do to improve it.

I just installed 10 of them this weekend. The truck runs on all 10 again, and they sure look pretty all in yellow.

Tell that to these guys!! They must be making them out of gold. Asking almost $600 just for 8.

I think I have one or two on the way out. I'd hate to mix and match though and I don't want to fork out $350 for a full set, even if it is a good price.

IMO...if you are thinking of replacing all 10 COP's, then YES. However, I don't think mixing them in with OEM would be a good idea. Unless...you can compare side-by-side between the OEM.

If you are looking at replacing one or two, then just stick with OEM.

Again...just my .02 here.

I'd agree if for no other reason than I don't want to mix yellow tops with black tops. I'll cross that bridge when the wallet lets me.
