If I could get a set of Mercury IGN1-As for a decent price, maybe it would be worth going E8 (that will have to wait until next years budget).

I won't have a full 6ms for an LS2 coil (I intend to rev to 10,000 on my next iteration, if I can light the charge).

Does anyone know what the saturation energy of the stock coils is? If not, I will get an oscilloscope and find out. I would like to be sure that I am significantly upgrading ignition, as the stock coils seem to ignite very well at lower revs and I can run them at higher voltage to get over the rev issue.
