Good evening all,
  I think I found out why my engine ran under powered on the last flight. The
  fuse supplying the leading coils was blown. It was a 15 amp fuse, which I
  would have thought would be more than adequate. Of course, the fuse is
  supplying two of the coils, not one.

We're using one 7.5A fuse per LS1 coil.  Perhaps it would be a better idea to 
separately fuse each coil, this way if you blow a single fuse you'll only lose 
one leading plug instead of both.  Just a thought.
