You probably will not notice any difference. I my opinion so called hotter coils, fancy wires etc are a total waste of your hard earned bucks. The stock electronic ignition will provide more than enough spark potential. In the old days of points and condensors a better coil helped a little but modern cars have plenty of punch in the ignition department. Once combustion occurs more spark really does nothing other than MAYBE keep the plugs a little cleaner. Trust me on this one, there are better ways to spend your money.
