Hi Ed,
I have alsmost made the decision to switch to the LS1 coils - two last questions:
1.  How much do the LS1 coils weigh?  I think the Mazda coils weigh a total of  9 lbs but those notes are at home so I'm not certain of this number.
2.  How many amps will the LS1 coils pull while in flight (Tracy???)?  Seems that I remember that the Mazda leading coils pull 7 - 8 amps.  It doesn't seem that there would be much of a difference but I can always hope for less!
