So im stuck with ignition choices. I dont really have the cash to throw down on a COP unless i get another CC (which only makes 2 in my collection) or do I try the HKS DLI? I found one for $250 used but it sold already. Im willing to throw down $250 to get me by till next year but is it worth it to buy a $400+ unit that could fail? Do I take out a new CC?
Thus far new plugs are fine a 35psi but it doesn't last long before it starts missing under heavey load and high RPM.

This winters goal is 700whp so I think the COP will be needed anyway I look at it...

Damnit.

Your thoughts?

ok everyone, time for great america tickets and trip. I'm sure there will be some sort of lunch together in the parking lot again and we can caravan down there like previous years. for anyone who wants tickets, get me the money, $27 a ticket, and I'll get you the tickets. it's as easy as that. we are not limited to the number of tickets we can get, but I think there is a cap on the amount they are selling in total. They are available now. I'll be posting this in the Midwest forum as well. PM me with questions as I'm not on here everyday.

Here's the details

Kohl’s is once again proud to offer Friends and Family Day at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, IL, on Sunday, September 28, 2008.

* Huge Savings - Only $27.00 per person, including parking! Compare this to the Gate price of $54.99 (plus parking)
* The Park is reserved exclusively for Kohl’s Associates, Friends and Family again this year! As a benefit for Kohl’s Associates, the park will be closed to the public, and we will not be sharing the space with any other organizations.
* Average park attendance is approximately 32,000. Kohl's Friend & Family Day attendance is approximately 9,000. What does this mean for Kohl’s Associates? A GREAT TIME WITH SHORTER LINES!
* Start spreading the word to your family and friends today!

Two choices would be HKS DLI2 or OKADA PROJECTS Plasma Booster coils.

I wouldnt buy a USED DLI as they can fail over time from heat. If you buy new, at least you know you are at full power.

I have a used set of OKADA coils for sale if you would like to try those.

agreed...in the end you will pay way more in interest than the unit itself would cost. not to mention maxxed out ccards and/or seeking more credit looks bad and lowers credit scores....

Why not just give yourself a raise? Or just do what I do. Use the overtime money only. I wont have overtime for 2 weeks so my car is on hold yet again.

Otherwise the engine is together. I thought I did a fairly decent job seperating all of the bolts while I took it apart, everything went back together queit smoothly until I threw the timing belt back on, what a PITA.

All I need now is a little freeze plug to fill the balance shaft hole, throw the oil sump, and oil pan back on and shes ready to drop in.

Well I was going to start by saying you have no idea, but apperently you do. the squad is an amazing fire arm. I wish I could have afforded to shoot it more. hardley any recoil, belt fed its pure magic. the mp5 is what i expected as I have friends with class 3 weapons permits and own similar fire arms. I love mac 10's though the most.l the absolute sheer blaaaaap, blaaaaaaaaaaaaap, "oh **** out of ammo already" no way that was quick, is priceless.
