So, I have been speaking with MSD on their coils. I have always been a fan of aftermarket ignition systems. MSD has always been my favorite, specifically the 6AL with a blaster coil. lol
Anyway, after reading numerous failed attempts with our cars and installing/running MSD COPs and countless rejections from my tuner telling me to not run them, I decided to talk to MSD and ask what was up with their coils.
So, people running NA motors have had good results; better starting, idling, etc.
But for those of us running blown motors, these coils do not work; results in spark blowout.
So, according to MSD, in order to run these in a blown motor, you need additional equipment.
For our setup we need the following:
MSD PN62152 - DIS-4 Plus Distributorless 4 Channel (quantity 2 x $600 = $1,200)

MSD PN89121 - Dual Ignition Adapter for Ford Coil-on-Plug (quantity 4 x $80 = $320)
http://www.msdignition.com/Products...l_Ignition_Adapter_for_Ford_Coil-on-plug.aspx
Grand total: $1,520
Here is how they are wired:
Quite an undertaking... sigh
And no, I am not planning on doing this to my car. I have no room for more stuff. lol Would be nice if you could install all of this in the trunk, but these ideally need to be as close to the engine bay as possible.
Just thought it would be nice to share why these coils by themselves do not work in our blown applications.
