Since the comment was made to me that Coil On Plug hinders tuning (and power) I decided to have a little fun and dyno my car before tuning (with COP) and after (without COP). I removed the COP system and built a custom bracket out of a Taurus coil bracket which hides the coil under the throttle body. I ran stock 2002 Cougar wires to the plugs and set out to see if there was an "improvement" by running regular DIS-6 vs. COP. I installed a brand new DIS-6 coil from Borg Warner just to make sure I was getting everything I could out of the ignition system. In the end the retune made me more power - The DIS6 system had no bearing what so ever on the results. After witnessing so many dyno's and tunes on COP.. It's what I expected all along.
Here's the before dyno (with COP, before re-tune)

Here's the after tune dyno sheet (without COP):

In case you think I didn't get a retune.. Here's some pics...



If anyone wants to buy the custom bracket I made (provided you aren't running EGR) I will gladly sell it for $25.00. I'm going directly back to COP, this was only a temporary setup for testing purposes.
Enjoy!
