[s-cars] FAK!!! Dreaded stumble/miss rears ugly head!

[Eric Phillips]

One small correction:  Apikol's kit is cheaper.

Javad told me that he's got a couple of AAN cars of 400+HP running the
1.8Tcoils and tri-electrode plugs.  Since RS2 is somewhere in the
320-350 HP
range (someone please correct me if I'm smoking rope), I would say that the
1.8T ignition solution works well past RS2.

I just went 1.8T ignition, and it seems to work just fine.

Good luck,

Eric
