DEZOD MOTORSPORTS: ALPHA SERIES V-band Manifold Installed (Page 21)
Yeah regapping can gain a bit of power then index can help as well. And introducing bigger spark can too. It is being more efficient and frees up power. Just the little stuff added together gains some.. But its not a power adder... Turbo, supercharger, and nitrous are power adders.. im sure u knew that..

Yeah what were you running previously.. That's quite a big jump of hp for just gapping plugs... .023" - .030" should be were u gap them.. on a boosted app.. but man i can't imagine gaining 30whp.. most average gains from most gapping, indexing, and increasing spark is minut.

to answer the other question about gaping, when i had the f/ic my gap on my ngk heat range 8 ir's was at sock gap which i believe was .028. we thought i might be getting some blow out, so we gaped them dow to .018 and bam, 30 whp. im planing on getting some ngk v power copper heat range 8 plugs before i go back to the track here soon and keep them at a stock gap.
Yeah if ya got the Okada's you probably could get that result and not have to gap them that narrow..
yeah. i was looking at the hks dli to amp up the spark and get a complete mixture burn and maximize power. although, if the okadas work just as well i might go with them. its just the whole paying $800 vs $400 that im having trouble with.

Ok Guys I know I haven't been posting in a while its been Hectic as all hell building the car getting it tuned and getting it race ready! Well any ways this is how it goes!!!
So we finally get the car all done up ready for tune!!! Dezod Alpha series with ASR Motorsports Charge pipes, Intercooler, and inlet pipe, RC 1000cc peak and hold injectors, Dezod/ASR one off Oil cooler setup, Hydra Nemesis stand alone, Dezod return fuel system with Aeromotive Fuel Pressure regulator, ASR S-Pipe back straight out the middle exhaust, VP C16 Racing fuel, Built Motor...
Well we got the car on the dyno here at Vinny Ten Racing went through some problems minor stuff nothing to worry about. We load tuned it for 2 days getting everything nice and smoot for when it was ready to make some wide open throttle pulls to see what this bad boy could do. We finally strapped it down for the final time to make some minor adjustments and to start making some horsepower. We started off at 14 psi we were making full boost around 3800/4000, and making some good numbers (380WHP with 420 WTQ), but thats not what we were shooting for we were looking for something around the 500-550 WHP range (its a time attack car ;)). So we bumped the boost up to 18 psi making a few runs and reving the motor to 7500 RPMS, we Made 420WHP and 460 WTQ at 18 PSI with the same spool time as 14 PSI (allso this may sound low for the GT3582R but just for you Ptuning fan boys out there this was b4 we touched the variable valve timing where we had 70 WHP sitting on the table
at the same boost level). Well we were doing one more run b4 we touched the variable valve timing and all hell broke loose and when I say broke loose i mean broke loose. It ended up with a rod through the block of my motor 
. Now!!! this is not caused by the kit or the tune this is caused by ZPI D-Bags not doing what I payed them to do years ago (no big surprise there I know). I sent them Carrillo rods which where not in my motor they put stock rods back in and thats why the rod broke and took out my entire motor. It didnt even brake at high rpm it broke at 4700 right when peak TQ comes in and Says Hey whats up motor lets makes some MOF___in Tq b!tches. So low and behold thats all the numbers I have for you ringht now but it wont be to long till I have the motor back up and running with some nasty parts built here at Vinny Ten Racing and will have some serious HP numbers for ya. BTW I already have a new motor ;)
