A few misc. questions.

_ I am noticing that there is a significant lack of power between about 1 to 2.5K RPM, most noticably fot the first 750 RPM or so. Is this normal? I know that the car is not yet in its powerband there yet, but was just curious. Is there anything I can do to alleviate this.

_ Also I noticed that the spark plugs can be installed with or without the gaskets. Would it work better one way or the other? If the gap on the plugs is longer, will the spark be hotter and increase proformance? To make the gap longer would I need to get a bigger throw coil? I am interested in what little stuff I can do to make the car run better, and this is just another one of the things that has got me thinking.

_ What cool little mods have you guys done to your cars to make them different and IYHO, better? I am also thinking about wireing the empty socket in the back into the brakelights, to make it stand out more. That kind of stuff.

If it ain't broken, drive it until something is.

Have you spent quality time with your Engine Gnome lately?
