If our cars were meant to have sunroofs Ford would have offered them. There's a good reason why our cars didn't have those or t-tops. I helped a friend weld metal back into his and replace the headliner cause of how much he hated his

I hate it but not that much lol. I paid nothing for the car so it was worth it with or without the sunroof.

I have the same sunroof on my car (the one that barely opens) and it was there when I bought it. I personally wouldn't have installed it but it really isn't that bad, it kinda blends in to a black roof with some low VLT tint

Good day at the dyno but need a few things sorted. After the first pulls the tuner gets out and says Thank God I didn't throw any timing in the the car it hit 16lbs of boost! He also was seeing a lot of spark blowout. Thinking due to my COP conversion. We turned the red line down to 6k which lowered the boost to around 12lbs. I will be needing a boosta spark box and a stage colder plug. Final results was a very conservative 420rwhp and matching tq with only 14 degrees of timing. I will get a retune as soon as I get the ignition stuff figured out.

Nice numbers. Interested to see the final results once you get the kinks figured out.

What size pulley? What did you turn the redline down from?

At 6500 rpm it made 16lbs. I told him to back it down to 6k anyway to keep my stock oil pump gears in one peice.

It's got a 3.15 pulley

I thought coil over plug was suppose to create a much stronger spark?!?! Isn't that why so many have/are converting to it??

I mainly ask cause with my turbo build I'm going distributless and coil over plug. So this would be nice to understand early!!!

It does on the cars that came with the coil on plug. Mines a 98 so it originally had plug wires. I used a coil on plug conversion harness which splits the spark signal strenght in half. I did the conversion prior to supercharging the car and didn't plan on making this kinda power.

Since I'm going standalone with going cop maybe I won't have that issue then.

Fingers crossed...........

When you gonna try to fix the issue and hit the dyno again??

What size pulley do you have? I'm trying to figure out how much boost a 3.12 will make.
