I went from sub 0.030" spark gaps to the stock above 0.040" spark gaps without getting spark blowout for 4 years now.
Pros: no spark blowout, wider spark gaps

I replaced the OEM coil with an MSD ignition coil earlier this year after having similar misfiring issues. Haven’t had any issues since.
Pros: no issues since
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Sonic
I’ve always had good luck with MSD coils. I’ve had them on MULTIPLE vehicles.
Pros: good reliability, good performance
I purchased the MSD coil upgrade kit, swapped out the coil pack, new spark plugs / wires, fresh oil / filter. Fired her up and she purred like a kitten.
Pros: purred like a kitten
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
You can also spring for the MSD coil, about twice as much but the boots are attached better I think, where the OEM part might have the boots rip off or the springs get caught up.
Pros: boots attached better
Cons: twice as much
I replaced the coil with a MSD high performance which was actually cheaper than any other brand, and had significantly better boots on it to keep the water problem from happening again. Haven’t had an issue in 2 years.
Pros: cheaper, better boots, no issues
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Cruze
I got MSD Street Fire coils to replace mine and its been 4 months so far and they're running strong.
Pros: running strong
Vehicle:
Ford Crown Victoria
Couple years ago I put a full pack of MSD coils on it, and they ran amazing right off the bat, and great for about 3 years before I had a coil fail on me while I was camping.
Pros: ran amazing, great performance
Cons: one coil failed
Vehicle:
Toyota Tundra
So I replaced the coils with MSD packs, and tossed in fresh plugs, even though the old ones were less than 10k miles in. This seemed to fix the issue for a while, but it ended up coming back.
Pros: seemed to fix issue
Cons: issue ended up coming back
Vehicle:
Ford
Mileage: 10000 km
Soooo many burnt up MSD ignition coils. We tried our best.
Cons: burnt up
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
