If you have a Portfueler setup and recieve a bogging or leaning out at -1inHg or about that area, you might be wondering why. You probably tried to contact HRC tech and they never answer. You also might be tempted to tune the portfueler to engauge earlier instead of at 0PSI.


If you are still running a stock ignition coil than this is your problem.

I upgraded to an MSD ignition coil and wires, my bogging is gone.

Other reasons might be: fouled stock injectors or not hot enough/cold enough plugs. NGK makes the best performance plugs for our cars, and luckily they are extremely inexpensive. The NGK plugs also come with a one year warantee and if your plugs are not doing the trick take them back to the store you bought them from and exchange them.



I hope this helps.

I wouldn't consider the MSD coil pack an upgrade... Both perform the same. I haven't started messing with my tune yet, but as soon as I figure it out, I will post it up.

The MSD solved my problem. perhaps I had faulty wiring as I had to convert the harness from the '96+ to '95 coil pack harness (I sincerely doubt this).

Upgrade to the MSD coilpack and wires and see if that helps.
 
I would suggest using a multimeter to see if your within the conductivity range of the wires and coil pack. (make sure enough juice is flowing)

Then try another coil pack, and brand new wires.

then "upgrade" or switch to the MSD coil pack or Screamon demon if you so choose.

You have a 98. Why would you convert 96+ to 95 harness?
