    I'm pretty sure they recommend leaving te coil cover off for additional cooling as it can reduce their longevity, be interesting to know the folk who have put the cover back on, whether they've had issues. I suspect if you trackday the old girl, then you'd be better off leaving it open.

        Just for night drives, not really used during the day so I don't think it should be too much of a problem in that regard . Not pushed hard either, Malta doesn't have such roads to allow that..unless you wanna end up stuck to a tree

          Absolutely NOT. The extra heat kills those little coilpacks in short order.

          Even Marc S. says "It is not recommended to fit any form of cover over these coils to allow them to cool as effectively as possible." right on the webpage.

          You would be much better off going for his LS2 coil kit (only $75 more):

          Still plug and play wiring wise. Does need a bracket for your application
