If I could prove it was him something would be done, trust me on that. Nothing adds up to anything but someone in my house doing it. Do you see where I am coming from if it was someone who walked into the garage? It would not have been done the way it was. It looks like whoever did it, did not want me to see it. I'd be in a parking lot come out and then notice it.... It was done with boxes all around and my ap1 rims and tires.

By looking at that link, the plugs look just like the "normal" pictures. My tuner put the plugs in, I believe the gap is .016. The way things are looking the car is going to be down till next year... Some how my front bumper got keyed, while it was in my garage. I will not drive the car with a keyed bumper! Out of all honesty I think my brother did, but cannot prove it. The way it was done and the way the car is parked I do not think someone came into the garage and did it.
The bottom front right part of the bumper was keyed. I have a ton of boxes around the front of the car. It's an obstacle to get to it. If I was going to go into someones garage and key their car I would want to make it as quick as possible. I would not go all the way into the garage and key a small part of the front bumper. Not to mention it'd be hard to run out if someone came in. Again, if I was going to do it, I'd have keyed the whole side of the car or the whole back side. Then again, I've never keyed someones car nor would I ever.

With water/meth, there is no way you can run .030 gap. We run .023-.025 with an AEM Twin Fire and pencil coils. With the stock ignition, we were at .019.
FWIW
We made 680whp at 25psi and .023-.024 w/ AEM Igntion
We made 590whp at 20psi and .019 w/ stock ignition
And you can see in the dyno graph and the data where the ignition was unstable when it was stock. The addition of the water into the mixture creates a much larger demand on the ignition system.

If your log comes out okay and your car is running fine then I think like lots of people have said already, its jsut your launching.
Bone stock on Kumho ASX All season tires (stock size and psi) I was able to cut 1.9 60's
Same tires and setup but with a 75 shot I was able to run 13.2@ 107mph with a 2.0 60's and a hard bog out the hole. Supposed to go back and make a better pass.
So if all else is okay, just work on lowering the 60's before you worry about times.

Hmm for the whp u have should be a better run. I would say its u the way u are taking off is not for the track but for the street. U need to drop it a 6500k for a good pass. I know youre worried about the rear end but if thats the case don't go to the track inless u like the times u get. Now i have not been to the track with my CR but i will take it easy on it like u do but im not all into great times just having fun for me
