If you would like any special picture requests of mine, just let me know.

They are really unique and I am glad I got them. Are you still running the stock coils? If so, you probably know that they don't bolt in however you can still stuff them in there. I opted for a set of LS-2 coils new on E-bay for $189.

They are stock 6.0 coils. How high above the upper surface of the head do yours come up? Any pics would be cool

Which coils are compatible?

they can say what they want to sell the product. not knocking it but a coil is a from of transformer and all transformers have heat and need to cool off. i noticed one of my coils actually left a black heat mark on my valve covers last year.
