Re: anyone know H.E.I really well?
it takes the battery voltage and boosts it. i don't remember the specs on the stock coil, but the MSD stock replacement coil is something like 42,000-45,000 secondary voltage.

Depends what you mean by "fire off". The coil driver output of the HEI module is nominally 12V.
