Windy City BMW event 5 today. Timing was down in the morning so we did fun runs. In the afternoon they decided to manually time cars so that we could have a scored event. Only 4 runs to get it down. 2nd in class again. 3rd overall on raw time.

I ordered a new set of wires and it cleared up the misfire. The idle stumble went away too. Nice bit is these have ceramic boots that won’t melt and have integrated fiberglass insulation to protect them from headers. https://tonsperformance.com/products/sleeved-9070c?_pos=4&_sid=72c8dc2e0&_ss=r I also put the 2nd MPI hub on the passenger rear. Not because it was…
