so got my car tune some time ago but wanted to see how people feel about two things. spark plug gap and redline.
about the gap. i have msd wires, cap, and booster core. when i tuned my car my tuner wanted me to gap to .08 in which i feel like it should have been way more. he told me that you dont want to go more and then deal with blow by (blowing the spark out). but i feel i can easy do .20 or more with the msd set up. what you guys think?
with redline, i have a fully build head and block. redline at 7300. but tuner told me i shouldnt go higher since its a d series. but when shifting gears the rpm are dropping just at the point of when i start building boost making it that every lagy every shift. (turbo is a precision 5431) i feel like maybe a redline of 8500-9000 would be fine for a build motor. what you guys think?
also note, i did tell my tuner that altho i went wild with my build and build the s**t out of it and even sleeved the block that i wanted to be very safe. i wanted to drive the car hard and not worry about being on the line of max for my motor. thanks guys.
if u want more info on build
