Happy I was able to beat my pb of 11.98 with 11.91, but couldn't cut a good 60 foot to save my life. If I could had got my 60 foot down in the 1.7s from 1.8s I'm thinking a decent 11.8 would had happened. Anyways it was a fun time! There was another sho out there the owner however said she got it in May and it was completely stock. Once the weather gets better I have another five gallons of c20 ready to go so we'll have to see!

Forgot to post this the other day... swapped out the factory SP-534's for the SP-542's. Got a great deal from Auto-Zone.. $5.99 per plug plus 7 dollars off the total price. ended up paying $29 for all 6 plugs...
My 2016 has 11,500 miles on it and all 6 plugs had a perfect gap of .030 according to my feeler tool. I swapped them anyway because after talking to Matt Robinson he highly recommended the SP-542's set to .026 for my setup with the HPFP and E30. Torrie has also moved to the SP-542's but he recommends .028 from what I understand.
Car feels smoother for sure and not getting any KR... I wasn't before either, but it has smoothed out the over RPM band.
Still on the fence on the MSD coilpacks.. I can cash in some employeer rewards for Amazon gift cards so I could pick them up for free. But I want solid data that they actually perform better than stock besides a one off dyno session.
Also, if you do have the HPFP.. you will need to remove it to pull the plug on Cylinder 1. A bit more a of a PIA but not horrid.

I thought Gearhead recommended the MSD Coils along with the MC-542'S based on the article posted by bpd1151! ZStealBlueSho said:

They do recommend the MSD coils... but I would like to see technical evidence showing that MSD coils produce a bigger spark than stock...
Also remember that Mike has been setting the record on stock coils too.

@- SBS Agreed! But in my case they were indeed warranted,especially with the current mileage on the original stock coil setup ....
BTW - I did update my post on my initial overall impressions on the MSD'S. Z

It was on the trailer because I blew the overdrive servo that week in the transmission. And if anyone knows about the old AOD it was common. After overdrive goes you slowly start to lose all gears. Well that night I entered the bracket race and ended up winning. The transmission was so bad by the final round I had to stomp the pedal on the first Amber to get it to move by green. It was like having a built in delay box. So after taking the picture winning the transmission was so bad the car wouldn’t drive up the trailer. And being a poor young kid I had no winch. So I had to back the car onto the trailer since basically no forward gears were working at that point lol. My buddy kept telling everyone “the timing is off so we haven’t turned on the bottle tonight.” Well there was no bottle lol
