Dyno reading help
Had my car on the Dyno today for the 1st time. It is a 2000 with about 32k miles. It was getting lots of spikes. Was told I needed new plugs and wires. Maybe someone could take a look and tell me what I need to do to correct it. Dyno run was done at about 9:15 am so it was not real warm out yet.
Only mods are Blackwing and Corsa exhaust.
Thanks for any help on this.

Re: Dyno reading help (Snake Slayer)
I've tried to tell others here on the forum that the factory plugs and wires are not very good and they sure don't last long. My 98 had no platinum pucks left at 37K miles and the wires were causing mis-fires on Autotap. With your mods the NGK TR 55's should work well(find them at O'Reillys Auto Parts) and Taylor Thundervolts or Magnecor wires work good. PS you might want to try a slightly smaller gap with the new plugs .050 seems to work good and keeps the knock retard down.
