So a guy from town has been talking crap for a long time and i just so happened to meet on the road saturday night... he stopped in the middle of the road and we talked for a minute and he wanted to race, so i was like whatever i told him my car isnt running right but we did it anyway...
i had him off the line and we were even (neither of us were gaining on one another, but he was 3/4 of a car back) until my 3rd shift, i missed the rpm (over reved, then missed the gear) he jumped about 1/2 a car lenght infront of me so i couldnt gain it back so i slowed down and got behind him....
his car: 2003 mach 1 stock except for exhaust.
my car: mods in the sig
My car has no power past 3800 rpms..well it has a little power, but no where NEAR where it should be... the supercharger/cam used to start kicking in realllllllly good right about there, but now it feels like nothing.
i do have an msd btm so i dont know that i'm blowing out my spark.... i do however need to get new regular plugs and gap them accordingly (i have platniums now )
what do you think my problem(s) is/are?
heres a list of what I think it could be....
-spark plugs being platnium and not gapped right
-timing might be off (it was set at 12* last time i checked)
-in need of a tune
-dirty MAF or IAC (i think thats what its called...)
what do you think?
