    My car had been misfiring like crazy lately, so I figured i'd do an inspection. Turns out the idiot i purchased the car from put splitfire plugs in and one of them was missing Diode from the center. On top of that, one of my spark plug wires had been cooked through.

    I purchased some Ap 606 from Wal-Mart and had to use an old plug wire till i can get some new wires later on today. Also i made sure they were gapped to .060" the splitfires were at .080"

    Ok, I know I'm opening myself up for ridicule here, but what in the heck does FTW mean? And you should truly not worship the Delco platinums, the're good, but not that good.

    I got the Platinums because they didn't have the coppers. I know that boosted cars are supposed to stay away Iridium's
