Craig,
Depending on the coil and the ballast resistance value, you might get an
improvement over stock, but if the coil is intended to be operated without a
ballast, you won't get the FULL output of the coil if you leave the ballast in
place. For a discussion of ballast vs non-ballast coils, see the VTR article
