i'll try a new filter. see if that makes any difference . i can bring the cars rpms to redline tho it just would take forever to get there its just when u step on it so it might be a fuel issue

i was thinking on putting a fuel pressure gauge in the car any suggestions on what to go with ? i see a few digital gauges from hong kong for like 50 bucks just wondering if they come with everything i need ?

just go with a manual for now , you would need a t fitting with 5/16 hose barbs on two ends and a 1/8 npt on the other for the electrical sensor . im sure your local auto parts store sells manual gauges . another thing to do is take it out and make it break up for a couple sec and then shut the car down and pull the plugs and see if they are wet or have a good brown to them . ironically i justgot done tunning my setup with steve kan and fought break up for many runs , we put a test light on a wire at a time until we found that the trailing coils would stop firing . the coil trigger wires only had a couple strands holding them together and broke when i started moving wires around .
