30,000 to 40,000 Volt depending on how fast the engine is going. The faster it spins the lower the voltage as the coils have less time charge. My question, how do you plan to measure it?

Ask Summit.

(3.8L) MSD Blaster Two-Tower Coil Packs (PN 8224):
http://www.camarohomepage.com/project/part3.htm

"The MSDs put out up to 40kV which, when they're used in an inductive ignition application like the THRS V6, is only slightly more than the OE coils. Where the Blasters are an advantage is during high-load operation at engine speeds beyond where the stock coils normally operate. Our project's engine is soon to get a rev limit higher than stock and future mods, such as nitrous oxide injection, will put a higher load on the ignition. Better materials, such as higher-quality copper wire, and more robust construction means the MSDs will be more reliable when the combination of higher rpm and higher ignition loads typical of a modified engine are present. These coils, along with MSD Super Conductor plug wires installed previously, give us a performance margin we like."
