I don't have a MP coil to do any testing with,but of all the coils I have tested on the dyno recently,the best was the Mallory Promaster with the Mopar Performance Chrome and Orange boxes. Since you want a round coil,the Accel Points/electronic yellow was next in line. Sorry I can't remember the part number off the top of my head. I can look at it later and let you know. Coil selection makes a big difference on how well these boxes work. There are better choices for ignitions out there though. Keith

For many years I ran a Blaster 2 on my car with a chrome box and always figured it was a decent setup. After dyno testing and researching enough about coils and ignitions in general,I have learned a lot more than I ever intended to about them. The Blaster coils are not a very good choice,they were intended to be used with an MSD that likes to do very quick,short sparks and they dont have the best characteristics for MP boxes. With the right coil,you can pick up a lot of low end and mid range power with a coil that works with it. Keith
this is very interesting!! could this be one of the reasons for the high failure rate of the orange box? what about E-coils? have you done any tests on them with MP boxes or MSD boxes?

OP, while we wait for an answer on the coil question a suggestion, ditch the orange box. driven hard and often is not what the orange box is really designed for. if you want to stick with a MP product that will be plug and play with your harness, step up to the chrome box. i personally use MSD but alot of guys use the chrome as it's rated for higher rpm usage.

@ keith. Did you test any of the petronix coils?
Pertronics coils are made in china , at least they were 5 years ago when I bought then returned the flamethrower , bought the epoxy filled MSD , wasn't made in china it worked well.
