Easy for you to say ease up on the gas pedal, but that v8 sounds so good when you mash the pedal. lol

Yea... But just leaving my house I have to climb a rather steep grade... So skinny pedal goes down lol...

I'm just thinking get the rest of my plugs in, 3 to go... Put in a high flow cat, and race bullet, or ultra flow muffler... And checking fluids or swapping to synthetic, and sea foam everything...

Might do a compression test too just to see how good my valves are sealing since the intake manifold was dusty as can be from a stupid apc filter

a clean motor is a happy motor! i would be curious to see the compression results before and after using the seafoam...

considering how much filth is lining the intake manifold, i can only imagine what the heads look like... and imagine it could be affecting the valve seats... my bluetooth ODB2 and torque app does show the vacuum level but without a known healthy motors levels im kinda in he dark if what i see is good or not...

i would definetly be doing a compression test before and after... as well as logs from my phone... and pictures lol

but it might be a project for warmer weather, we'll have to see if i can find some garage time to get it somewhere warm lol

Finally got the bluetooth on my new head unit paired with my phone. It must have been complicated, it took my son almost five minutes, lol.

LOL thats usually a sign its screwed up, when the youth cant get it going in seconds lol

what the heck is going on with one of my coil on plug ignighters... i cant get my plug out, it looks like theres something on the top of the plug, like a washer preventing my socket from getting the plug out...

i couldn't find my tiny magnet to see if it was magnetic and pull it out, but picks and needle nose would not get it out...

The rubber boot has certainly broke off the coil, so its getting the rest of it out... IDEAS people!! heres a photo

my first thought would be to try a pair of needle nose vice grips, you may gain a little more traction on it... and turn it as you pull, might be worth a shot...maybe spray a little wd-40 in between it and the plug to help lube things up.
