What leads have you found good? i have been using these for quite a few years, i just check the resistance now and then and havn't had any issues.

we normally run M&H cheapies that you fit your own ends on.one of the ones we had issues with were M&H offcuts from our last set of leads that we fitted both ends on instead of just one end.they wouldnt go over 5psi without missfiring.yet my 300000km stock vx leads work fine LOL

Ive had good results with top gun 10mm race leads. Its funny you guy have misfires; With these leads, MSD coils and standard spark gap (VR V6 Turbo) on 14lb I have never had an issue (only if I had burned through a lead lol)

we do run rich coming on boost to keep things alive with tall diff gears doesnt help with big spark gaps.but even at 11.7:1 at 300rwkw its prone to missing LOL.i use fuel for cylinder cooling as its quiet often at high rpm for over a minute on the skid pad LOL

Very true indeed ; )
Yeah delco, ive been good so far on 14lb, though im a bit richer (about 10.8:1)
What are you running in your setup for 300rwkw delco?

What turbo is it? Im hoping to crack 300 with my setup on a fresh stocker with high ratio rockers, custom bigger reverse inlet manifold & t04e turbo. Should have a pretty good chance id say

T70 which measuring the wheels is like a gt35/82 with a 0.82 rear housing log manifolds 60lb seimens injectors 3" cooler pipework etc. the cam was a definate helper in the power department

How is the t70 to drive on the street? How quick does the boost come on? Im contemplating getting one as I am in the process of modding my turbo up-pipe
