    Green spark plug electrode, others fine, causes?

    Yea, but it's just the grounding strap I mean, not the electrode, and it's just the tip back, the porcelin is bright white. The rest of the plug looks good. I've heard that the copper in the spark plugs will turn green if they get too hot (lean).

    Green spark plug electrode, others fine, causes?

    I was changing the plugs in my car tonight and the last plug (clost to the firewall on the driver side) had a green tint to the electrode on the plug. All the others plugs were looking great, just a slight bownish tint to them. What could cause this one plug to differ from all the others, I'm...

    Fuel pressure too high?

    I'll definitly post up the dyno sheet when I get it all done, what shift points would you think to shift at? Powerband rated from 2600-5600, the stock dyno chart was dropping off at 5400 so I was shifting at like 5500 at the track.

    Track times in, need some input

    Yea, it's going into the dyno next Thursday at MD Motorsports. They said it will DEFINITLY wake the car up a ton more. What should I shift it at do you guys think. The cam chart for it from Flowtech said powerband 2600-5600 and the dyno sheet untuned dropped off around 5400, I know tuned it will...

    Fuel pressure too high?

    Thanks for the input, I have a VAC gauge in the car too and read it all the time. The pressure on idle is around 37psi and under WOT it's at 44ish psi, should it vary that bad? Should I try to set the FPR with the vacuum source plugged and see where I'm at then?

    Track times in, need some input

    No, not shifting before end, but I am going through traps in 4th gear. I'm on 245/45/17 DR's, my time was rolling out, but the trap should still be higher like eveyone is saying. Maybe a different size tire would help, but I dunno, just trying to get it all figured out.

    Fuel pressure too high?

    Fuel pressure is varying at different RPMs which shouldn't really happen that I know of.

    Yea, I agree, I'm going to go to MD Motorsports after I get out of class today (damn 3 hour long class) and see what I can get for a tune. What do most people do here?

    Track times in, need some input

    Yea I know, I'm not happy with my times at all. I wasn't even trying to launch it, it was just spinning with the drag radials. They hook on street, but not the track. The suspension is Ford B springs, Tokico Illumina shocks and Lakewood UCA & LCAs. I really need to get the car tuned too.

    Car feeling sluggish at the track with 4.10's...HELP

    Yea, it revs like a son of a bitch. I took the car out tonight after doing a few minor adjustments and I was cruising in 2nd around 2500 and punched it and the tires just lit up. SOOOOO after my total loss of traction, I need to invest in slicks or drag radials for sure. What is best to launch...
