Don't mean to be a ****, but if you would have done any research on the topic (or even popped your hood)...you would know that our cars don't have a distributor or a coil. Our cars utilize a Direct Ignition System (DIS). Thank you and have a nice day.

Not sure. There is a company that makes upgraded coils (each plug is driven by its own mini coil), but they cost something like $400+. I personally don't think it's worth it unless you have heavy modification done to your engine. I can tell you that on a motor with intake/exhaust/header the upgraded ignition doesn't do much, if anything.

i was curious about those plasma boosters. I doubt they would do much if anything on our car. Maybe if you had 350 HP?

You can install the AEM Capacitive discharge ignition.
