Sparktech non-cdi V.S. HKS DLI
For those kinds of numbers you don't need to spend the money on a coil on plug system. The DLI has been proven to work with cars pushing 600whp plus...so if you don't want to spend money I would buy the dli.
I admit I am biased, however, because my DLI2 has worked flawlessly for two years as it was meant too. I have not had any of the problems like the above people mentioned.

What's interesting is the non-cdi system made a consistent 8-10whp in back to back dyno testing by simply switching out from the stock coils. I haven't heard ANYONE make those claims about the DLI. This is an indication that on a more heavily modded car gains will increase.

At what point do you really need to upgrade the stock ignition? (I know several people making more than 400whp on stock, so I am just wondering what the general limit is for the factory setup.)
^^There isn't a set horsepower that is etched in stone. Some factory coils appear to be stronger than others. Ambient temps also affect their performance. If it really cold out the air is more dense, requiring more spark.
We have often heard some experienced tuners say"if it isn't breaking up there is no power to be had". We have proven this theory Wrong several times. There is also more to consider. To make over 480whp with stock coils you have to close the spark plug gap considerably .019-.020. The problem is the smaller the plug gap the more low speed driveability suffers. The car will surge and buck at lower speeds...add large turbos and cams and it's no longer fun cruising thru the local grocery store parking lot

Just chiming in that I have been running the HKS DLI2 for 2 years w/o any issues; high boost , methanol injection, soon to be E85. My box isn't exposed to the elements which probably keeps it running strong. SparkTech stuff looks top notch as well. I would say if you're not having spark blow out issues I would save the cash for other mods.
mine (sparktech) might be here by the end off the year, we haven't had this much snow since i was born so we'll see when the ups man gets here. I'm excited to try it out and probably pass it on to JB for a new tune, merry christmas. the car makes 350/340 on a DD right now with the stock coils but i always felt the car had intermittent spark issues.
