Analyze my gap...

So following the swapping of my plugs, and the crappy performance I began experiencing, it got me thinking... Some people have mentioned that I might be running a bit too lean. Taking this into consideration, and the fact that the car seemed to stutter once I closed the gap down from .036 - .032 ( and then to .034). Could I be running so lean that my gap isn't enough? Or am I completely backwards here?

Have you dynoed to check your a/f?

What's that? :-o


j/k... yeah, I had it checked when we had that dyno day at Performance Works or something like that in Naperville (close to RT59 and Ogden) last year. That day we all got there and they said their a/f logging wasn't working. They said they could watch the a/f during the run, but they just couldn't graph it. Anyhow, when they did that, they said my a/f was alright, pretty stable between 11.8 and 12.2. Might be time to get another dyno though to be sure... Here's my graph from that day...
