    Hot igniter

    Probably a rhetorical question but... Should the igniter get so hot you almost can't touch it? If you leave your hand on it for more than a quick 3 count it becomes quite un-comfortable. Thanks for your input.:icon_bigg _

    Power drop off at full throttle

    I have a theory. Tell me what you think. Symptom: Under 75-80% throttle car pulls hard, runs great. If I go to wide open it flattens out, and doesn't pull nearly as hard or rev up as fast, almost like it's struggling to make power. My theory: At 9.5 psi of boost and what is...
