RX8 Coilpack Failures

[Kane]

After only three race weekends we are having to replace the coilpacks to return the cars HP back to where it started. On our mustang dyno from testing prior to a double race weekend to after the race weekend we are losing 20 HP simply from the coilpacks. We simply replace all four and instantly the HP comes back? Every RX8 coil I have pulled not only race cars & street cars but all of our salvaged RX8's we part out all have a white spot on the bottom in the opoxy of the coil. I believe it may be heat related so we started running a duct to attempt to cool the coils with no luck either? I have researched guys running non mazda coils and wanted to see if anyone has tested different coils on a race track for long durations of time to see if non mazda coils hold up to the heat and if they are lasting longer then stock coils. I know this has been discussed before but I'm looking for someone that has real proof for a fix. I have talked with most the big name RX8 race teams and they run the factory coils but simply change them out. I would like a better solution! Anyone that can help please callme at 256-309-0492 or email me directly at parts@partsgroup.com . Thanks for any assistance!!!
