Contrary to what I thought Aaron says bigger gap does not make for hotter or more effective spark, better mileage, more power etc. They confirmed results with their dyno and mileage tests.

Liking the individual coil on plug though

yes im running a cop setup and not civic coils but pretty much the same thing they are from an s2k and thats the same thread that inspired me do it, just took me awhile to find a set on connectors for the coils but found a set yesterday and got them running this morning, so im not sure im still testing them out but ive been driving around all day and havent had any mis fires with the cop as i did with the stock ignition setup at 15psi at .25 gap and it does run better at idle and driving

Damn man sorry to hear that. I was with my company going on 12 years. Using this opportunity to hopefully go back to school. Was sick a good part of last week so wasnt able to get as much accomplished as I wanted but here is a brand new week and I am ready to get this ball rolling.

So took my college placement test today. Scored college level on everything except I barely missed college level in math. Damn equations anyways lol. Not bad though for being out of high school for 12 years. I am thinking either like a desiel mechanics with some business classes thrown in there or something with computers. Damn I am so undecisive. What do you guys think? I need some opinions on some good fields to be looking at. Have to make a decision by monday as thats when this thing really starts rolling

i'm a diesel mechanic and i just retired from 22 years in the AF. got me a sweet gov't contractor job lined up for me next month too. six-figure salary.

if you decide to be a mechanic, invest in getting your ASE (automotive service excellence)certifications. they will really pay off in the long run. the world will ALWAYS need qualified mechanics.
