Default Re: New belt! slower ET and Trap

Ok well found out a few new things today visiting Eurocharged. We ran the car on dyno and for sure at around 4,400 rpms torque drops off pretty bad that would explain the 12.2-.3's. Tony tried to make adjustments on the tune but no matter what adjustment he made torque just kept dieing at around 4,400 I think we tried 4-5 different tunes. So at this point it was obvious its not a tuneing issue and we installed the original Eurocharged tony tune. Examined the belt and still seemed like new no signs of slipping. Tony asked me about my plugs told him i still had the original plugs in the car and last time i checked they still looked like new and were at the right gap. We decided to pull a plug and check just in case and sure enough the plug didnt look to bad but was blown out to .040 which is WAY out of range. So obviously the addition of the tune on top of the other mods was a little to much for the stock plugs. Next monday i will be installing new spark plugs one heat range colder(prevents blowout) and gapping them a little tighter at .030.
