[DML] Re: DMCH Performance Engine (SpecialT Parts)

["Matt Spittle" <supermatty@xxxxxxx>]

Bill,

Rich A. and I also thought you could use a bigger plug gap with the
hotter coils, so I (using an MSD blaster2) gapped mine to 0.031 or so
, where the manual says the upper limit is 0.28 normally.  I believe
Rich A. also gapped his similarly.  The result was that my car
couldn't rev much over 3500 under load.  Rich had better luck, but
found his distributor and rotor to be heavily carbon scored after 6
months.
