sick car. I like it :beerchug: . You do need to lose that *dang* pinstripe though. I hate those *dang* things. And decals kinda blow your cover :ballkick: . I almost don't even consider my car a true sleeper with clear corners and the FWI (SC whine is loud :twisted: ) even though I have full SE cloak. Well, everything is SE except like half of the engine.

Those yellow accel coils are WEAKER than stock. They are also very prone to issues, and you can't afford 'issues' with misfires if you're running too small of a pulley on that supercharger and have no scanner.

Get the Series 2 OEM coils (from a supercharged engine) or MSD ONLY.

I strongly suggest you listen to the advice given in this topic before you do any more long-term damage to the motor you worked so hard on.

i have already put one of the oem coils back on because one accel coil failed after only one month. i dont have a scanner yet but i use a friends otc genisys when ever i need it. i scanned it about a month ago, thats why i went with a fwi. my air intake temp was about 25* hotter than the out side air temp ,my kr peaked at 4.5 ,i havent scanned it with the fwi on it yet, and i consider all the advice and info that i can get.

Beautiful Bonneville there, but to make it a sleeper, pull all the badging. Our B'ville is just a daily driver with no real mods of any kind, but is a sleeper as only people that know what a Bonneville looks like know what it is. When it was new, we would get chased down the road by people to find out what it was.

Hope you love yours as much as we do ours. - BC
