How do you test coil packs?

As the title says. I'm thinking of aftermarket coil packs now that Accel makes them. But I'm wondering if I need them. My car is now SC'd and tuned but I've seen the new Granatelli Coil Packs add 9rwhp on a friends ride and smooth out the idle.

Any advice?

what kind of mods do you have?

I have a 2000GT with a Allen SC running at 9lbs of boost. There is a slight stumble when parked. It's weird cause it happens every 10 seconds. It may just be nothing at all but I was wondering if I could use a multimeter to test the resistance of each coil for consistancy.
 
to test the primary resistance connect the leads to the (+) and (-) terminals.
to test secondary resistance connect the (+) lead to the (+) terminal and the (-) lead to the coil, i've read around here that the values should be .55 and 5.5K respectively but i'm not sure
 
These are the set that I've got my money set asside for.....
