I think the 8285 MSD coils would work with the stock dwell of the LS1/6 system without alterations, but the additional wiring harness MAY be necessary in some instances. MSD has indicated that *some* vehicles may have insufficient gauge wire in the stock ignition harness to carry the current their coils need. So it sounds to me that if you have problems with the coils, then adding the harness would be recommended. That being said, I have read accounts of people putting in the MSD harness even with stock coils to help provide more current to the coils.
