I just put in the Accel "Super Coil" (http://store.summitracing.com/partd...4294907606+4294925143+400020+115&autoview=sku) internal coil, along with NGK iridiums, a new cap and rotor and 7mm bosch wires. HUGE difference. Starts easier, revs quicker, idles smoother. Completely worth it.
Total I think I paid about $150 (Canadian - I guess that's about $120 American). It was worth every cent. I was considering going with the external coil, but the cost and the fact that I wouldn't know where to put it in the engine bay made me stick with internal.
I think the concept with the external coils is that the internal coil is too small for it to be able to provide a full spark every time at redline. Afterall, at 6000 rpm, the ignition coil is having to produce a spark 24,000 times every minute. A larger coil allows it to build up a bigger charge between every spark, increasing combustion efficiency and therefore improving power. If I had to do it again, I would definitely try going external, especially based on the reviews it's getting here.
