Ken, I am not certain of the weight of the LS1 coils.  I did weight the
Mazda coils and they came out to a total of 8 lbs, 5 for the trailing and 3
for the leading

However, my estimate is the 4 coils approximate in weight (this is the hold
in one hand and hold in the other method) the Leading coil's weight of 3
lbs.  Perhaps someone else has weighed them. \
If not I'll take the scale down to the shop with me next time I go.

I doubt the average current draw exceeds 3-4  amps per coil and probably
only one coil (maybe two) coils are drawing current at the same time, but I
don't know that for a fact.

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!
