How Can I Get Rid Of My Opti?

I have heard a little about the delteq system. But have also hear something about the LS1 set up with individual coil packs and was curiouse if anyone can give me any information about them and where i can find them at?
Any response would be greatly appreciated

The "LTCC" setup uses the 8 LS1-style coils:

Both these systems still require the optical sensor signals from the Optispark.

The LTCC is more expensive than the Delteq, but I think it looks better if it's done right. I like the way mine looks, and everyone always does a double take when I pop the hood.

HaHa... if I had to pick one of the coil systems I would go with the delteq because they are working on a full replacement for the opti. Of course it might be a universal type signal that the LTCC could pick up also. If that was the case then I would go with the LTCC for two reasons 1. I like the idea of one coil for each cylinder and 2. I think i looks better. 97WS6SCharged
you have a great looking set up one of the best I have seen. Did you make the mounting plates yopurself? or did you buy them?

Re: How Can I Get Rid Of My Opti?

i dunno about looks, my delteq has a 4-coil pack sitting on my drivers side valve cover that looks pretty cool. i think the ltcc looks a little more confused and scattered like the back of a computer desk. the delteq seems to be easier to install too, as ive heard of problems with the ltcc. i dont know what 8 ls1 coils cost, but a northstar coilpack is about 140 last time i checked. the delteq system comes with mounting plates.

Re: How Can I Get Rid Of My Opti?

I paid $150 shipped for my 8 coils from a board member. They aren't really hard to find these days. As for the brackets, they are from Mallory Billet Alunminum.

Lighten up man it's just a joke. I almost bought an LT1 but got a good deal on my 99. Glad you got your question settled.
