Does anyone know if the MSD version of the LS1 coil is more reliable?

Thanks for a second data point, Mark.

 

I strongly suspect that you are correct, we simply are driving coils designed for start/stop slow go automobiles rather than constant hour after hour of 6000+ rpm operations.

 

But, I suspect that excess heat is still the core of the problem whether under cowl heat or internal heat due to electrical power use at high rpms.
