Correct me if i am wrong, but When you have aftermarket ignition dont you usually increase the gap?

here is the slip of the 10.90 pass

Normally I trap 101mph on pump gas at the 1/8 without misfire on street tires.







135mph
pass still misfired

Very nice man. I really miss being out there with everyone. I even miss helping you work on your car, haha.
It would have been awesome to roll out there with everyone.

Get those misfires straigthened out and some better fuel and I am sure you will hit a 10.5!

Later,
Barry

Those are definitely some very tight gaps. Lucas English made 918whp on this very same system at .020 plug gap with a 42r if i'm not mistaken. As everyone knows not all misfires are due to insufficient spark energy, but only those with hidden agendas are suggesting a spark issue.

What brand and heat range plug are you running? Feel free to pm if you wish.

plugs are bpr8es. I am positive its the fuel this time. I had a spark blow out w my BR COP before using Sunoco fuel. This is the 2nd and will be the last time my tank will see Sunoco fuels. lol

W/ the weight and need for spacer i decided to go w/ the small brakes to fit whatever size rim/tire combo i wanted and i'm not so sure those type of spacers are NHRA legal but that's besides the point.

Congrats on the 10 sec pass Vin!

Have you spoken to Craig about the missing issue? What was your gap at?

We had a road race Evo a couple years back that ran only Sunoco stuff and it went through plugs pretty often..........glad i'm on E85 now!

Edit: Maybe someone should start up another thread for us slower guys that don't make the top 18-20 list LOL........there used to be one for the 10.99-10.00 i believe ...........gotta go 9.90 @ 150+ to make it .......lot's of fast evo's out now!
Thanks Patrick!
-Vin

btw rims weighs 13.7 (bathroom scale)

I'm sure you will get it sorted out Vin. Let me know when you head to the track again. Thank you for the review on the D Rail. The average IDC drop has been between 10-14.5% when making the switch. Indy

I'd increase plug gap, .015 is way too small. You got any e85 around your area?
What size tire is that MT?

Way to go on getting into the 10's!!!

you need to work that suspension buddy, it's too low in the front and back to take advantage of those slicks, no camber
