High RPMs are hit too fast for refresh of the highest #, and we know the HP is way too high, but a little interpolation tells me that the BHR coils with plugs are worth at least 10 HP.

My gas mileage seems the same either way, and I can still get 25 mpg @ about 65 mph with crummy ethanol spiked fuel.
Excellent! You are quite welcome glad we could get your car back up and running. If you need help installing those replacement plug wires from BHR the SARX garage will get you all squared away free of charge!

Who knows, I think most of the reason why its reading oddly was because it was mobile dyno and would move with the car.

Cornholio's car looks so mean too, I love it. Houston was too busy moving his car, I didn't get any real good pics of it.

Thats because its my good side, those wheels are the whitest and the side aero flare is attached. Driver side has a cream colored rear wheel and no aero flare.

Looks like a great event! I'm not sure why Corksport does not put on an event like this in the PACNW.

Yea I know they are up there... I honestly have no idea, its super random. But cobb is also based out here along with some other folks.

They might be looking at branching out down here, Texas offers great benefits for out of states businesses wanting to move in.
