Re: Will my fricken' luck ever change?

Thanks guys for your input. I wanna say again it's no fault of anyone here, or am I blaming everyone..I'm just disappointed in power vs/ boost, and the revving issues.

Brandon, we swapped my plugs once they got bad on the dyno, with new ones..bpr7es, gapped to I BELIEVE .020? (shane?)
Boost at a minimum still won't allow it to rev past that 7950..it hits a wall, sounds/feels like it's a hard, rather rapid 2-step cut, and falls on it's face. Gas planted to the floor, it WILL NOT rev past. But, free-reving, it will all the way. Yes, we checked and double checked all rev limiters, and the ignition setup, like hte MSD box and such.

Tires are def. an issue..3rd..and If I remember right 4th too last night(cooler out?). They are Riken raptor ZR's..225/50/16. The rims are 16x8 I'm pretty sure (maybe 16x 8.5) and I wanna go to a wider tire setup..perhaps something in a 245/255 variant.
