So the problem APPEARS to be coils at this point in time.

The engine has consistent compression and the rear o2 doesn't make sense since it does nothing anyway.

I'm installing my LS2 coils now either way since if it does prove to be coils, this will solve the issue... if not, at least that is done and I can start tracing down what the issue might really be.

I should know by this weekend if the coils solve it... just ordered another set of MSD boots and terminals since I only had 4 to start with and one broke (and you have to buy sets of two with the boots, cant find just the terminal).

Bracket is built and 3 plus wires are complete. I'm taking this time to clean up the engine bay a bit as well though as it was nasty under the airbox and battery tray!
