So I get it home and replace the coil and everything is fine.......for a while. For the first couple of miles everything is...

    I might be in trouble on this one

    Well as I was trying to finish the install on my last GMS COP, the bolt on the #8 colt pack is stripped before I even started working on it. I tried vice grips with no luck. It is going to take alot of torque to get it off. Does anybody know of any tool that can be used to remove such a small...

    Do I change the gap?????

    I am just about to install my GMS coil packs. My question is do I need to change the gap on my spark plugs since the new coils deliver more spark? I have my tr6's gapped at .036. Do I give them more gap?

    Really tough call.... need opinions

    Well I am having the usual problem of the truck idleing fine but running like crap at WOT. I am assuming it to be a bad coil pack. I replaced the fuel filter and plugs recently. The weird thing is sometimes it runs horrible and sometimes it runs fine. I just got back from Ford with a new...

    Anybody tried the Granatelli coil connectors?

    I am looking to buy the Granntelli/Motoblue coil connecters from RPM outlet. These are the coils that snap on instead of just slide on like our stock ones do. The new connectors look like they are stiff, not bendable like the stockers. My question is, how hard would it be to install these if you...

    Truck is acting wierd.....

    Well a couple of days ago I torqued down my spark plugs just to make myself feel better. No problems there. I let the truck run after I was done, all the cylinders were firing and I thought everything was cool. Today on my way home, I punched it to get around a mini van on the highway. The...

    WS6 Shoots a plug!!!!!

    Well I guess we are not the only ones who shoot plugs. My cousin has an 01 500 hp WS6 Firebird and he called me yesterday and said he heard a loud bang and then a loud ticking from his motor. I said to myself "hmmm sounds familiar". I told him to check all of his plugs and sure enough, cylinder...

    My new track times......WTF?

    Well I went to the track about a month ago a ran a 13.7 all day. Since then, I installed the 6lb lower and the Pred tune and took it to the Dyno to make sure it was safe. I gained 60 RWHP from that. So today I took it to the track and could not break out of 13.4. I had no traction issues with my...

    Dynoed today......huge torque!

    Well as I posted a little while ago I went with the 6 lb lower. I took it to the dyno today to have a custom tune. It made 380 hp and 509 tq. I couldn't believe it when I saw that # on the dyno computer! I knew my torque would be alot higher but I wasn't expecting that much for what mods I have...

    6lb lower is awesome!!!!

    Well I finally finished the install, got all the plugs to fire, and installed the Pred tune. Took the truck for a spin and it runs awesome. until I hit higher levels of boost then the truck falls on its face and kinda makes a vibration noise. I am guessing this is because I don't have my 90 mm...

    Finished install on 6lber but....

    after changing the stock plugs, I have a cylinder that is not firing. I think that it is most likely a coil pack that was not installed properly. Is there anyway to determine which cylinder in not firing with the Predator? or is my only option to take each coil out and check it?

    Just bought 6lber.......plug torque?

    Well yesterday I finally ordered the 6lb kit from RPM. I have been reading about plugs flying out. I obviously got the tr6's, and was just wondering what you guys think I should torque them down to. Not too tight, not too lose...... right?
