^very nice Ramses! I saw your post in another thread - sounds like you like what the COP does too! I actually haven't taken a picture of mine yet since my car had issues right after installation (not related though). I love running the COP setup!
Thanks Dan!
Yeah, I also want to thank Freddie for helping me and my friend at work for their collaboration to help me wire this thing up. I almost bought the used pre-assembled kit that Matt sells, but found the coils for uber cheap and decided to get the DIY kit. All in all I am glad I bought it and did it this way. Cost me $160 shipped for the DIY kit and then $58 shipped for the coils, so Id say it was well worth the PITA wiring.
I drive a ton, and prob dont make the power that I really needed to get this, but I know it will help for what I am looking for it to do and also in the future when I go bigger it will deliver. I also switched from NGK's to Denso equivalent plugs, so we will see how they fare. I have ALWAYS used NGK copper plugs, but hadnt really thought about the Denso coppers until I realized I could them for about the same, if not a cheaper price as the NGK's through my work. After talking to some people I started my gap at .024 for my 28 psi im running and will try and play with it here and there to see whats good. So far so good!
the major differences between spoolin-up and sparktech are:
- price: $200 - $400+ for SU, $500+ for ST
- warranty: 1 year for SU, 2 year for ST
- coils: used for some of SU kits, new for ST
- build: DIY and also one guy (Matt) for SU, I'm guessing a build crew for ST
- availability: SU has had issues, not sure about ST
I went with a ST kit, but I got it for cheaper from Lucas as a one-off deal. I was headed toward SU, but they were unavailable and I wanted it sooner than later.

Not really (if i understand which way you mean) when you consider that the quality is there regardless of if you buy a used coil kit from Matt as he tests all of them first before sending them out. If you do the DIY kit like I did and you buy yourself used coils like me, then you run a possible risk, but I bought Denso coils like Matt recommends and I havent had an issue. Denso is good stuff and last a long time so it was a no brainer for me. Everything else in the kit is new and even if you buy his new kits, they are obviously cheaper than ST, but I think ST is still a great quality piece.
