ok when i boost it in 1st and 2nd it doesnt pull right..in 3rd it feels fast then it pulls realy good but i should be getting this way earlier and i dont get it at all in 1st and 2nd .i think the timing isnt advanceing enough...ive set my timing at 15 what could cause this...is it my ecu? i cant figure it out and it sucks because i get beat by slow ass cars

Problems with this thread:
- Bad title
- Bad grammar
- Lack of ability to use the SHIFT key
- No listed reasoning (or logic) behind actions taken
- Original poster is racing "slow assed cars". Where is he racing them, and why, exactly, when he knows there is something wrong with his car?
- No list of installed modifications to help diagnostics
- Original poster shows no ability or inclination to research
- Descriptive ability - "Slow as shit" isn't very quantifiable. "hks pos keeps fukin up" - do you have ANY idea how many parts HKS has made for this car? Last time I checked, *none* of them are called a "pos". "autolite coppers" - that narrows the field! There's only about 3000 varieties of autolite copper plugs to pick from.
- Condradictions - "no codes just 34"

shaeff is 110% correct.

Please sell your car, or take it to someone who knows what they're doing. Typing a grammatically correct sentence wouldn't hurt, either. Autolite 3923 coppers are just fine. Numerous people, including myself run them with zero issues.

Edit: Damn, Grim beat me to it!

LOL - it just occurred to me that anyone who can get me, SC, JJ, & IJ all to post in his thread in a couple hours is either doing extremely badly, or possibly very well. But I don't think I can recall an instance of 'well'. :D

Guys, three words for this thread:

Wall Of Shame.
