Is there another type of coil being used as well?  Somewhere in the back of my mind, I keep thinking I have heard of a problem with the LS coils....but it rained here and my imagination is fertile.
IGN1A is the preferred coil but somewhat pricey

So who makes  real 1A coils? Looks like they originated from Mercury Marine?

I think the Mercury Marine are the real ones...and then there are the clones...I'm thinking this is an awfully expensive way to go if you are making less than 700 hp

I'll continue to use the LS coils

Yes sir. Delco coils. As far as I know and I could be wrong there is no need to change the harness for the IGN1A coils

well its back... what ever my problem is its not my ground or module I have a stock known good in it now. I checked the fuel pressure it seems good rises with boost, the symptoms pointed to ignition if I launch it hard once I get to about 4000 rpm 19, 20 psi it falls flat. All the intercooler hoses are tight and it drives great under normal driving conditions no codes and my logs look fine no knock fueling is good. I'm gonna swap out the crank sensor see if its giving me grief and make sure the balancer is tight.
any other suggestions?

Well it’s not the crank sensor.
I’m gonna pull all the plugs and check them and give it a compression test.
The valve train sounds fine the spring where new this winter Comp 941
It’s like it hits a rev limiter at 4000 rpm I stayed into it a bit just started to lose steam. Hitting on 4 out of 6 holes.
