waredtalon- yes I was powerbreaking the car.. not too long tho I know it's bad for the tranny.. and my plugs are gapped at .35.. is that too large?


andymoraitis- yea I knew a little about that but my dad bought it for me at Buschur a few weeks ago along with some other stuff in attempt to help me out when he heard my bad times LOL. He doesn't know too much about these cars... I know I need an AFPR I'm just saving up the 200 some dollars it's gonna cost me for Buschur's.. I should have in a week or too... thanks tho ;)

Good deal Brittney. I just didn't know if you were aware of it. You should see substantial improvement just from having correct fuel pressure and no overrun. Oh and definitely gap those plugs to between .025 and .028 (I use .028 at high boost and it works fine).

Good luck to both of you on getting some great times!

Thanks Andy I'll def. regap them AGAIN.. I had them gapped at .50 cuz the stupid advanced auto guy said to and I just regapped them to .35 last week.. but I'll change it again LOL. I understood the concept with the fuel pressure and all that good stuff, but you cleared it up a bit :thumb:
