ORIGINAL: aim4squirrels

Steve told me once max voltage from the stock was 25K. The stock replacement coil from MSD (#8228) puts out 35K. I believe the turn ratio is 72:1.

The Blaster 2 and 3 coil (Blaster 3 is 8223) put out 45K and has a
100:1 turn ratio.
is that too much over stock?, i have ngk spark plugs and plan on getting the blaster 3 coil with the matching 8.5mm super conductor wiresall form MSD

It's never too much, MWAHAHA!!!!

Actually, the spark plug has a resistor in it so as soon as a voltage exceeds that amount, the spark jumps. The higher voltage and higher turn ratio ensure a both a solid spark and a fast recharge so you should get a more consistant spark at high RPMs and if there was some sort of impedance that the stock coil couldn't overcome.

I don'tt think you can over-volt the system.

I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you asking if it will keep the battery from recharging off the alternator due to the extra voltage? The answer to that is no.

I went the easy way and put in the Accel Super coil (140021 for '90-"97) rated at 42,000 volts and used the Accel harness adapter (140021AH for '98+). No splicing, plugs right in. Been in a couple of years with no problems. No matter which route you go it is a good investment. My truck used to crap out at about 4,000 rpm (acted like it had a governor). Once I replaced the coild revs right up to redline (which I try not to do to often).

I had an Accel on my 96. It lasted almost two years. MSD now. The voltage rating is what the coil is capable of developing, it doesn't put that much at all times.
