will this cause HP drop??

[jaidedeye]

i am assuming that my cap and rotor are bad..but how much of a difference will a new one make by lookng at this one?? how much power an i losing??

id say it is time for a new one regardless of power.

oh..dont worry it already has a new one on my car ..lol

i was just wondering if i will feel a power difference

The contacts are burned, but that won't cause any HP/torque drop.

The timing may change as the contacts wear away. This would change HP, but I would say no more than 10 HP, more like 2-6 HP.

The cap does look worse than any I've seen, so it may be ok to change and readjust timing.

how much would it throw off timing?
