wow ha ha uhhh....
No, it's not gonna kill the coil running less than required voltage.
btw my ballast lowers/limits the voltage and DOES increase with rpm to a point.
What can burn a coil is too much current.
like I said 1st off...run what the coil manufacture recommends.

btw don't take general statement and spread it to cover every coil under the sun...We know HEI's take a straight 12 volt lead.

Good luck, i'm out of this from now on.
