You don't need to move your coils. The upgraded BHR coils (LS2) have heat sinks in them and they don't sit near close enough to the exhaust to cause any REAL problems. I've run a similar setup as what BHR offers for years now on many track days with no issues other than plug wire failure (unrelated).

Now - unless you WANT to move them because you're bored and looking for something to do, by all means. Although almost anywhere else you move them to will involve lengthening your harness and plug wires which if not done properly will probably cause more harm than good.

If you're really trying to be different - why don't you tackle doing a 6spd swap into your automatic? That'll be your biggest bang for the buck (swap in the 6 port engine while you're at it)....
