Best Ignition Coils

[ninjazombiemaster]

Hey guys, I've been overhauling most of my electrical ignition lately and wanted your input on ignition coils.

Right now, my car has a generic looking black ignition coil that has been there since I bought it a year and a half ago. I don't think that there's necessarily anything "wrong" with it, but I was wondering if there was a noteworthy improvement in using new or different coils. I do have a pertronix ignitior installed currently. I see there are several options for coils, from the pertronix flamethrower models, MSD, hitachi, etc, etc. Is there a best option when it comes to coils?

I've tried both the original coil with the ballast resistor removed and the MSA Fireball coil on my race car and I couldn't feel any performance difference. If your car is stock or even lightly modified, I wouldn't waste any money on a performance coil.
