Default 944 turbo Coil, Any Performance Advantages Out There?

As stated in title, is there a coil out there that is a sure thing performance advantage? I'm looking at a gain of 1-2,000 HP from coil alone .

What say you?

(and please notice the little winky guy up there, I'm just looking for a few HP here and there).

There is no ignition coil that will increase engine output by itself. However, if you have increased the boost pressure to the point where the stock coil is struggling to keep up and push a spark across the plug gap during high load conditions, then you might need a hotter coil. I went to a wasted spark setup on my VEMS-equipped 951 for this reason. I usually only run 1 bar/14.7 PSI of boost, but for fun I sometimes turn it up to 1.1 bar/19 PSI, and the stock coil cannot keep up.

Here is a good thread about the topic:

TY. I "grew up" in the 914 world back in the day. Coils were often discussed as a performance gain back then, didn't know if there was anything to offer us now. OEM it is. TY!.
