How long did your afmrkt remote coil last?
Well I'm on my 7th year on my MSD blaster coil and think it's starting to check out. How long did yours last? I don't seem to have any issues at idle but just have a strange intermittent miss that only happens under load and someone suggested to me that if it only does it under load, it's probably the coil and I think I agree enough to get another one to give it a shot. Pretty much it'll just miss all of the sudden under load between approximately 2k-4K. Anyway, these are the two that I'm looking at and know they they are a little bit different but not exactly sure what those differences mean. Anyway, does anyone have a recommendation as to which one will offer better HP performance?

I have had good luck with the MSD coil so far...A year. The ACCEL coils are crap imho. Purchased one new and the car would hardly run with it installed. Stumbling idle, would'nt rev and backfiring. Exchanged coil and the new one ran like crap too. Reinstalled stock coil and car runs great. Anyone else think the Accel coils are crap?

My first MSD lasted 6 months and 2 days. 2 days longer than the warranty. Ended up getting another one and it's lasted for 8 years.
