Then again if you want to keep some kinda sequential tuning setup then 8 coils would be your only option. All depends on what you wanna do.

Anybody have any info/insight as to interference problems with running this setup and a Vortech supercharger WITH aftercooler?
I doubt the valve cover mount setup would work but how about the radiator mount?
Also, any word on the I guess it's called Stage II setup? Will that be out by the end of June?

I am pretty sure the Radiator Mount would work easily with the aftercooler. On the Stage 2, I am not sure but Pete at Delteq said they are still working on it.
I just got my kit in the mail and I am very impressed with the quality of everything (its a real sweet unit). I should have it installed by the end of this weekend (weather permitting) and will have some pics and let you guys know what I think of the system but so far, the quality of all the pieces (even the wires) are impressive.
Thx,
Claude

Guys,
As stated before I got my Delteq and installed it over the weekend. The install was very easy...The hardest part is finding a spot to route the long spark plug wires and keeping them away from other wires/sensor and heat. Everthing else was easy as cake. Like I said before, I was very pleased with the quality of everything that came with the kit.
One thing I did notice, was I had a problem with the car BEFORE this install, it had a slight miss in it. I changed wires and plugs and it was still there. After I installed the Delteq system it seems to be gone (mabee my opti was starting to give me problems) because a few days before I ordered it my car was sputtering at mid rpm but not now with the Delteq system installed. The install was very simple and the instructions were very detailed.
I normally run 10 Psi of boost But now my Air filter was pretty filthy and the blower belt is not all the way snug so I am only getting 7 psi of boost but I can say that the Delteq system gives enough spark to handle a 383 with 7 psi of boost without breaking up. So an MSD box is not needed, actually I heard a coils/kits like these can handle upto 1000HP no sweat without an MSD amplifer ignition.
Heres a pic of my system:

I would HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who is sick with the OPTI crap or want a more reliable, more powerful better engineered and better located Ignition System.
Thx,
Claude

By "bracket" do you mean the mount for the coilpack?
If I opted to buy my own wires, would I have to make a universal kit work, or is there a specific vehicle that will fit the lt1?

Hi you would need to locate coils from a NORTHSTAR engine.

Hi Guys sorry if I am a little slow answering all of your emails over the past weekend,,, bare with me I just got back from the "f-body gathering" in Atlanta where the car was displayed with the delteq System to the public for the first time (the response was awesome I even got Scott Settlemire (the Godfather of the F-body”) to take a peak at the system (which he liked ) … also I got him to sign my car which was way cool….
