I fixed what I was asking you about earlier. Five new plugs and all is good, the CEL is now off too.  Thanks for the help.

BTW, did you get noticable gains from your latest mods?

Oh yes. I do know that my mileage this tank is going to suffer. Its like buying a turbo car all over again.
FWIW, I can now make the tires turn faster then the car is traveling, even if it is only for a few feet. And thats taking off unspooled.

In my Impala (before it was taken apart to be painted of course) I would pre-load the drivetrain (stall speed RPM level) with the brake pressed down and gun it as I'm letting off the brake once I'm ready to take off and it is insane on the launch that I'd get. Have you tried this with your turbocharged equipped automatic car??

Ive done it and it provides great  . Im hunting a vibration now so Ill see how it does when she is only FWD since the driveshaft has to come off to rule out the rear part of the drivetrain.
I still need to do some research, but if all goes like I am hoping for cams will go in during timing belt replacement around the end of the month.
Id go from this:
Intake:242 d duration 7.95mm lift
Exhaust:243.5 d duration 7.95mm lift
To this:
Intake:250 d duration 8.45mm lift
Exhaust:252.6 d duration 8.45mm lift
Boost is addictive.

I have to take it slow or else I will have one too. Thankfully I have not changed the maximum boost....yet.

All while I had the Contour I wanted an AWD. I finally get an AWD and I make it into a FWD.
I already miss the AWD. It acts completely different and I miss how it was. I do want to hit the dyno before I put the driveshaft back on.

But I did accidentally find out that it can leave two, five foot long patches. Not the best thing to do with $200 tires.
