Yet Another LS2 Coil Install
I did this a while back thought I'd get around and post it. The car came with COP's and I thought it would be cool to have the bad *** LS2 on here. I have to say first that at only 10 lbs of boost I don't think I could tell any difference. I was able to increase the spark plug gap from .28 to .48.
I started off with bending a piece of 1" aluminum to off set the coils off the fire wall about 1/2". Using an existing bolt hole from the windshield wiper, all that was left was to drill one hole for the other side.
I put some pics of the wiring but I don't know how much sense it will make. The info is out there, just search.
I contacted Taylor Wire and had a set of wires made. I chose there "409" 10.5mm wires. I wasn't sure how long to make them at the time and left the coil side open. In hind sight I would have measured and have them install the coil side too. Man what a PITA to get the boots over the 10.5mm wires. The wire set was around $80.
Thanks for looking, I hope this helps.

Sorry, that pic was a bit of a mess. I left the COP wiring hooked up also. I was planning on doing a shot showing the COP and the LS2 running side by side to see the spark difference.
