Prior going to dyno I pulled out my old Denson Spark plugs they were pre gapped at .031

Installed my Greddy Iridium which were pre gapped to .027

.....no miss fire at all!

I still have a few thinks to do to be able to run 30psi....Thanks to Kevin D for the tune and Abner for cheer leading

Glad to hear !

True enough just thought i'd throw that out there.

I don't see a reason to get a 1000hp ignition system but light upgrades probably wouldn't be a bad thing either :P

I'm assuming you want the power mods: Boostlogic 50 Trim Turbo Kit, Boostlogic FMIC kit, AEM EMS, Greddy Ti cat back system, Perrin Fuel Rail, 880cc fuel injectors, Walbro Fuel Pump, HKS DLI, Aqumist HSF-5, CF spark plug cover and Sony Speakers

HKS DLI is a great system....just make sure you plugs are gapped around .027, that way you will not have any problems.

Peeps have issue with the HKS DLI is usually due to incorrect installation and not with the HKS DLI itself.

I'd have to agree with that too. I've been using mine almost two years now.

why do you have to gap the plugs so wide?

The wider the gap.....the better burn as long as you don't have any issues with blowing out the sparks. My issue was that the Denso plugs was too big of a pregap .031 vs Greddy plugs which was pregapped at .027. The Greddy plugs never gave me any problems with miss fire at all and I'm pushing 26psi of boost!

I'm running the DLII also, for about a year and 12K miles. No issues at all. How can you install it incorrectly, I mean it's plug and play.

I've seen several threads about how they fail at 10k miles, so it has me worried, but mine has performed flawlessly. I did have to gap down to .025", but I'm able to run 30 psi of boost with no issues.
