Ignition Mods

With the factory PCM options are a bit limited in what can be done for ignition system improvements.

The 3800 uses a waste spark ignition system where two cylinders each share one coil. Because of this your coil options are a bit limited unless you want to perform surgery on your ignition control module.

You can switch to aftermarket coils to improve the spark of the factory ignition system.

The L67 and L32 engines are equipped with hotter coils than the L36 or L26 engines. These can be used to improve the performance of the factory ignition as well.

L67 and L32 coils can be identified by the blue tab located on the bottom of the coils.

Way above what I want to try to explain right now, but basically it's running 2 ICMs in parrallel to output more power to the coils.

There is one aftermarket ignition controller that is well-known. This is the MSD 62152 DIS-4 Ignition Controller.
This replaces the factory ICM and will also require an adapter to mount and use the factory coils. This allows you to use a 2-step launch control.

Amazon reviews of this have been pretty mixed though and it is pretty expensive with a price tag of $700 for the box alone.

You would need the MSD 8870 coil interface module for all 3 coils as well and that could be an extra $150.

There is a device called the “N2MB WOT Box” that will allow you to set up a 2-step launch control and no-lift shifting. It basically cuts power to the ignition control module to kill spark at a set rpm or during shifts.
You can find these from most vendors and will cost around $200
