I thought about going COP after my C-head swap but I can't justify the cost of the new cam covers and COPs and wiring, just to go with a less reliable ignition system that looks nice.

ive never read anywhere that COPs are less reliable then coilpacks and wires.
plus, the coils are pretty damn heavy, removing them and the wiring/brackets will save on weight to.

why wouldnt i buy it? makes things so much easier and id ont have to cut into the factory harness
and just to be clear i have a 1996 cobra, with a 98 motor
and whats this about a fuel rail? do i really need a different one?
this got pretty confusing pretty fast

I've never read it anywhere either.
I am going by my own personal experience... :<)
And not sure what coil packs you have, but mine aren't that heavy, couple pounds apiece maybe. Custom aluminum brackets, not factory steel, and wires don't weigh much either.
I may do a write-up on this, depends on how many people are interested in learning how to do it VS how many people want to ridicule me for doing it. :thefinger:

In my experience the stock coil packs are adequate for most power levels. One of the few times when the factory part is actually made well.
Do you have any before/after dyno sheets proving that those aftermarket coil packs gained you any HP?
I'm not wasting my money on that crap - lots of money for no gain IMHO.
Factory coil packs and decent wires are more reliable and cheaper to replace than COPs.
Plus I bet your wires are red....
