Well we checked over the car some today.
2 plugs were fouled and not firing too well at all.
We reset the timing back to stock it wasnt set at stock.
And I changed the 2 spark plugs out for new ones.
Overall she seems a bit stronger now and pulls a bit better. So who knows.
We will have to see sometime this summer how well he hangs with me. I am planning on doing a full exhaust an electric fan and a cold air intake. Also maybe gears.... so we shall see!!

Sounds like some pretty serious problems. After I went to the strip and ran 14.12, I changed my plugs and noticed that my leading plugs weren't exactly in nice shape. Too bad I never made it back to the track after that.

Well a few more plugs fouled and when out cruising last night the battery decided to die on us while cruising. Luckily another mustang was around and he helped us jump the car and get it running again. So I am not sure. That could've been costing me a bit of power. So we changed out the remaining spark plugs and we have the car on a charger now. She seems a bit better. This car must of been pretty sick when I raced that SI.... I may have to challenge him again after getting her back up to speed!

Well me and my buddy with the SI are going to run.
my alternator was completely shot and it seems I was not able to rev like I should. I took her out tonight after the new plugs and new alternator and she hauls now. I called him and told him. "He was like you will probably get me but you never know". I know he aint got anymroe mods and his car was running in top shape last time. This time I will be more in top shape than I was. I dont mean to sound cocky but his *** is mine now! lol She revs fast and easy now! When I raced him she didnt!
