Update: I pulled one of the fuses again and decided to take it for a drive. I went easy for the first 15minutes or so and the car would hesitate like crazy @ 3000 RPMS. Like it hit a wall, then would go past and boost like normal. I got into a little bit and the car pulled very hard. (It’s like 50 degrees out here so I’m sure that helped). I then noticed the stumble started to go away and doesn’t really exist anymore. I think the ECU or VPC needed to relearn. Still not sure how it works but it seems to be running better. I need to pull the plugs again because I forgot to regap them. Can anyone reccomend a decent gap for my setup? .28 Ray? Car still makes me a bit nervous, i really need standalone I think. I’ll tell you what though, the car pulls like a freight train at night now, 2nd gear is a blurr. ---

I’ll tell you what though, the car pulls like a freight train at night now, 2nd gear is a blurr. You don’t “need” a standalone. Gap as tight as you can get away with but .28 is what I run. But, that probably doesn’t matter given the diff. applications. ---

I’ll tell you what though, the car pulls like a freight train at night now, 2nd gear is a blurr. The car being faster is completly normal-Supra ECU’s need to be reset on a fairly regular basis. Run NGK 6097 spark plugs at the gap they come at. I’ve used over 100 of those spark plugs and NEVER saw one be misgapped from the factory. ---
