Well if you spent a little time reading...You would know that a retest is immanent...and lots of other happy customers exist...it just so happened that a failure occurred...which can and sometimes DOES happen...

And yet...even with two coils fizzled...Jedi lost a whole 2whp...you sir...are a fizzle...

Guess we are gonna have to go do this in the only way SoCal and AZ can...

Party over in AZ, me and Jedi slap coils on (since Jedi needs to get served) and then we bring the pain...

As soon as I get back to CA (24 hours) I'll fix teh beastie...and based off the dyno data, and me having to lay Jedi out on teh dyno...I'm going to go the extra mile, and order a few additional toys to guarantee he not only gets served...its going to be broughten

Isn't that the whole point of a dyno graph? Otherwise, just post peak numbers, which some have already done, BTW.

Not mum, he was at around 300 hp but with the W/M not working, at least 1 spark plug blown out, and having to throw in a new map, didn't really feel it was worth posting.

He should have his car in better running condition for the Arizona dyno day (late february) and we should see more realistic numbers.

we could hear detonation as 2 were not firing
timing light confirmed
multi-meter used by CRH to check them.

2 were deemed 'no bueno' and Ray, Easy_E1, and Flashwing uninstalled the kit.

there's a way to test it but it doesn't work.. at least it didn't for me. if you search there's a post on it somewhere. best bet is to just change them.

on average.. some motors come more powerful from factory.. be it better sealing or running leaner.

What meter did you use?
A lot of cheap meters only go up to 2M ohms.
I used a Fluke while checking mine and measured 2.5M ohms.
Its possible your meter couldn't handle it.
