   George,
   Are the LS1 coilpacks available in Australia?  Do you know what is
   needed to
   drive them?  My emails to Tracy bounce for some unknown reason.
   Trevor with the Renesis Jabiru is sending me some noise measurements
   of his
   straight out exhaust no muffler. Should be interesting.

I believe the Monaro is in Australia, isn't it?  That's the Pontiac GTO
over here, and it has the latest generation of the small block chevy in
it (LS1/6/7).  Should be the same ignition coils as our engines over here.
