got results from the track...here it is...with no other changes in similar weather, opening the plug gap was worth 1.4 mph in the quarter. Here is the breakdown of my runs from my journal Im keeping. NOTE- the timing worked better at 10deg instead of 14deg (look at the mph) kind of unusual...my car developed starting problems once we fiddled with the timing, so I have to get it sorted out before I can verify it. Will be on the dyno 7/28.
