Thanks, Bill
 
I guess I now have a choice of either installing my LS1 coils or continuing to replace plugs to deal with SAG.  Appreciate you sharing your experience.

Mike,
 
I have LS1 coils and have experienced SAG only one time about 4 years ago.  I use 100LL on the road almost exclusively, because it is available.
 
Power was restored by reducing the throttle slightly and richening the mixture.
 
475 hours and only one SAG (I was still learning the machine, it seems).

Mike,
 
Tracy is the only one I know for certain, but I presume others are.  Tracy doesn't really count because he uses auto fuel rather than 100LL (rarely).  If any one is flying with LS1 coils AND using 100LL regularly I also would like to hear if you have experience SAG or not?  It could cause me to expedite my slow conversion to LS1 - well, I do have the parts {:>)
