What psi and plug gap are you running

I was told on my last dyno run that I was blowing out the spark on top end. So I dropped my gap from a .35 to a .30 and its still breaking up at top end. The car is a 11psi P1-SC 383 with NGK tr6. I have some MSD wires on the way also so that may help too, Im running stock plug wires now:shame:

Are you running a CD ignition box (MSD, Crane, etc.)? You need one if you aren't.

Yeah, I guess it would be helpful to mention that. I have a Mallory-685

Well, if the box is working right and the coil is in good shape there is no reason it would be blowing out the spark. AFAIK.

I guess Ill throw the new plug wires on and drop the gap to .025. If that doesnt work, should I try a TR7??

What I am saying is that IF the box, coil, and plugs/wires are in decent shape the problem is not the spark blowing out. There should be no reason to run a gap that small.

Rich, not to steal the thread, but I am going to be running a dual intercooled D1SC set up on about 7-8 PSI sometime soon. Think I could skimp by with the stock coil? I plan on running a MSD or Crane ignition box.

I don't think it will be any problem for you.

.045 on stock autolites normal heat range. Delteq Ignition with no ignition box. No misses up to 6400 rpm.

I would check your connections on the high resolution wire that comes out the top of the opti. That was the cause of my high rpm miss.:)

I was having the same issues on my old set-up. Turns out my opti cap was corroded at the terminals (at 30,000 on the odo).

I use a .040" gap with 10# boost and a Crane Hi-6 and LX-92 coil, Accel wires and a MSD cap.

Well I found out I dont have a miss, I have valve float. .600" lift springs and a .628" cam with 11 psi dont play together nicely

Ngk tr6s .32, 15 PSI. Good times.

How does the D1 feel compared to the P1?? Boost comes in sooner?? Is it a night and day difference?
