Are there any gains to be had with upgraded coil packs?

I was looking at these:

It says for 1987-1994 Cavs but these two...

say 1987-2002. I'm guessing that means they work with all 2200 motors, and the Delphi's are the OEM ones. Do the MSD's work with every 2200? And is it even worth it?

I've heard it's better bc heat destroys the stock style plug wires on the LD9. The IDI cover guts I mean. Also, I've heard you'll be able to gap the spark plugs at normal gap if you're boosted and have the upgrade. I think there may be advantages having it plus a MSD DIS-2 box. Someone correct me if I'm mistaken.

The OP does not have a LD9, but a 2200.

Even with upgraded coils plug gapped on a boosted motor needs to be adjusted smaller.

Any gains for n/a's with bolt ons?

Oh...2.2 huh. You'll need more than coil upgrades lol. Bolt on a turbo

There's much arguement over which are the choice to go with... But from what I've heard, Accels & GM-replacements are the ones; in that order.


Go beyond the "bolt-on".

Most you'll probably notice is that the engine runs a bit smoother. Depending on it's running condition right now. Won't be seeing any power gains though.

Lol, no turbo. Just bolt-ons for now. If I really wanted to get crazy with it I'd put in an 02 Z28 motor in it with a RWD swap lol. But I've got two project cars that have priority over the Cavy.

based on this statement here...why not just leave the cavalier alone and continue to DD ( which i assume your doing ) and focus on the other Project cars
