Some action from the Mason Dixon Dragway, March 11th...

Like a dumba$$, I forgot to switch the chip setting and ran the first run with the switch-chip in the stock setting. :Bang Good thing it was a Honda. :lol:

One and one with import and domestic. One and one with a supercharged Ford Lightning. One and one with the Mustang boys. Another run that didn't get filmed.

All in all, a good day. Mostly ran in the 13.8s. :L

Thanks! :)

With a new set of plugs, I was tuning my way through the day, adjusting tire pressure, then fuel pressure and when it ended up the last 4 runs came in at 13.82x. I was pleased. :D

What plugs are you running these days and have you ever tried to open up the gap with the after market coil packs?

I decided to go with the AWSFA12Cs this time. Had a hard time finding them on such a short notice. I received them UPS overnight the day before the track date. I didn't take the time to mod them, I just set the gap at 0.050 inches when I installed them the night before. :)
