its an exercise for those of us with OCD. Knowing no one but myself knows that my plugs are indexed perfectly vertical where they cant be seen.
Now if could only figure out how to make those plug wires stay nice and straight and bend in 90* angles!
That alone is worth 50HP based on the seat of my pants!

I only got 7 1/2 HP, I must have done something wrong.....
BTW, your Vert looks good in your avatar, the rear spoiler is a nice addition to it.....

you guys are all alike......
where is the challenge characteristic in you?????
I had OCD bad when I was younger....
but hardly any now....and I did index the plugs on one of my Vettes way back when. do you know I gained like 7 1/2 extra HP and I couldn't even measure the additional amount of torque it had from that simple mod.....I think I am going to index the plugs on the 82 and for sure on my BB 74 real soon......I know I'll be getting more power.....
I hear you, I hear you............
BUT it's you car and time so have at it!

I haven't had it on the Dino since I put on the rear c-o-r-v-e-t-t-e emblem this afternoon. But I think that should get me another 10.
Talk about an exercise in frustration for the OCD! It took all afternoon until I was certain it was perfectly straight and level!

Well to add something else for all the want to be racers, where does the gap face to get the most HP and which way for the best torque and the best fuel mileage? Put them in wrong and how much power do you lose? You know this could be very entertaining as to what some peoples ideas are!
