Stock coils. So, they are 68,000 miles old. I had spark plugs changed at 50,000 miles or so, but have not changed or checked plug wires.

Dealership. After seeing your new plugs, I may have to plan a Zaino/Spark day...where we could get together and make our cars run and look good.

My car is at the dealership now, with the trans apart. I told them about our dyno results and that I want them to replace the coils. They said they typically don't replace coils unless the car has been receiving a CEL. He asked why I would need new coils, what the cars symtoms were. I said "lack of power"

haha, not at all Erica! you are one smart lady. let me try again. hahaha

I think Jedi and and Snowfl8k got the right idea about the rb flash dipping less in power and topping out at a higher speed.

Doesn't Kieth still have the L or M flash?

That will make a differance.

Especially when Erica's has it and he feels more torque in her car. But then again we know his butt dyno is off.

wait, didn't I already pay 100 dollars (50 for me, 50 for Erica) to be told that my car, even though it has the most "performance" mods....were the worst of the bunch. I mean, I finished 11th, and Erica finished dead last for the MT's.

Razz. I have the RB Flash.

Car is down at the dealer, currently witha torn apart trans....they are flying in some inspector to see if they are going to cover the repairs. I did register my complaint about the power loss, and a need to replace the coils.

good luck with the coils Kwescott . Mabey if you can get that done for free you should spend the savings on another dyno run to compare ?

During our dyno day here in Phoenix, one of the more modded 8's produced the least power .
The bone stock 8's were in the middle or top. Only one "intake & exhaust" car was near the top of the heap.
The AT had a bad coil and boy did it show up in the graph.
