I read a few posts and also heard that when you put this on your should change the gap in your plugs.

Right now I have mine at .032 with a HRC stage II running 5psi (boost controller in the mail) Anyway, should I still change the gap?

Ok that's cool then. I'll just have to get some new plugs and regap them.

Notice any difference with the new coilpack? My car definetly seemed to idle better. Once I get my new wires hopefully it'll make a good difference.

i didn't really notice that much of a difference, although things seemed to idle and rev a little smoother.

i was replacing my coilpack to try to address a misfiring problem, but it turned out that the coilpack wasn't really the issue. it turned out to be either a crappy ground connection to the ECU or my electronic boost controller solonoid generating a magnetic field interfering with the camshaft posistion sensor (it was mounted right onto the 10mm bolt that holds it on)

Would it hurt to run the stock gap? I'm guessing it really wouldn't make a differance. I've been having a misfire problem and am replacing mine. I just ran another ground wire and she seems to idle a little little better but still sucks.

I'm starting to think I need to send my car out to get looked at cause I can't do this anymore.
