NGK's at .028" is where I have mine at. 60-1 @ 25psi, E85. No issues at all.

new spark plug wires and maybe try a different set of coils. My 2G would do this horribly on an 'ok' looking set of magnicores. I bought a set of the Taylor 10mm wires and the thing ran like a dream! Get a set, and set to about .024, that's about as low as you should go on pump gas car.

Instead of getting new wires and hoping nothing is wrong with my coilpacks could i just go with a COP system?

At 32psi on E85, I had to have mine set to around .019 to avoid miss-firing. .018 is the lowest I've heard of anyone running, and is the lowest I'd ever go because that is getting really small.

I decided to get an Arc-2 unit so that I could open my gap back up, but I'm still having the same issue even after the Arc-2 install. My wires are Taylor 10mm's, I've tried BRP6's and BPR7's, I've got a 'different' (wouldn't call them new) set of coils. I'm still having to run around the same gap to avoid miss-firing at 32psi. At 25psi, I'm usually OK around a .024 gap, but I find myself having to change out plugs every few weeks which sucks.

I may get rid of my taylor wires and try something else, just not sure which yet. I might just go back to OEM NGK wires.

If you do make sure to get a really good one, like a sparktec. 99% of the COP kits out there use chrysler 300m coils or other random shit that is more often than not inferior to the stock coils.

For the money, I would skip the COP and just get a good working stock system first. If the COP messes up, how will you know? New wires are cheap and a used set of coils can be had for cheap as well. Try them first.

Um, what kinda coils does sparktek use? I emailed them about it and they never told me what kind of coils they use.

I run mine around .026-.028 and it works fine for me. A lean mixture can add to the problem also.

Yea good luck with that. Maybe call AMS next and ask what wheels they use on the 850R turbo ;)

Yeah its probably because they use the 300m coils as well which deglorifies there whole company.
