Does anyone have it and does it make a difference. And has anyone put bigger coil packs on and bigger wires? just want to know if it is worth it.

yes, i have the coil packs,wire,big bore throttle body etc


I have accell super coils
accell wires, ac delco plugs
holley big bore throttle body
K&N air filter
i've ported and polished my intake and so on


i have noticed a nice increase in throttle response,really good fuel milage,
so yes this stuff will work . The coils are about 40-50 dollars each depending on where you get them.
the wires are about 30-40 because you have to custom make the wires with the kit accell has(basically they give you the wire and you have to cut it to the right size and put the boots and ends on the wire)
the air filter is about 30$
and the throttle body last time i checked was around 300 or so?

the throttle body i got came off a junk GA at a junk yard and happened to be the holley one so i got it for free. The prices on the coils are what you would be looking to pay if you bought them through autozone,same goes for the wires and filter too
(although when i worked for autozone i got my discount it was alot cheaper) :) Over all the answer is yes these things will work and improve the performance of the ironduke. If you have any questions feel free to ask and i will help you out the best i can .

what do you mean ported an polished your intake ?? also on your duke is the plug on the very left, is it blocked by the alternater ???? cuz it is on mine. I also tryed takin it off one day an ripped a lil hole in the boot. Do i need a new boot or a new set of wires ?????

you can sometimes buy replacement boots, but you can also buy single wires and replace just the one wire that broke or whatever. Yes my front wire is also covered up by the alternator and you have to pull it off to get the plug wire and plug out . The size of the bolts that hold the alternator on are 15mm ,1/2 inch or 9/16 socket or wrench size.
mine happen to be the 15mm and 9/16 being i replaced the bolts.
as far as porting and polishing i used a dremel tool to port the intake meaning i made the ports a lil bit bigger and then after that was done i used a polishing disc for the dremel tool to smooth out all the scratches,scuffs and so on

hope this helps

the alt dosent have to come off to get at the last spark plug, a long skinny extension and a swivel at the end will allow you to get in between from the left side and remove it. Its tricky but it works.
