Wes,

Some vehicles will just not respond the way the aftermarket parts
intended it to. It happens...very rare...but does happen.

Ok, in the past year and a half that I've owned my 3.9l dak sport 4x4
rc, I have realized that anything I've ever done to it, to make it have
more power or run better, makes it run way worse... here are some of the
things I've done to it.

3-4 diff versions of the k&n cold air intake, that sensor relocation,
the map sensor box or whatever that was that bernd made... diff fuels,
diff stations, diff oil types, diff plug types... and my conclusion...
well... I put everything back to bone stock, and 87 gas... and I swear
the damn thing has never run better... when I had the k&n on it, it
pinged like a son of a bitch....

Right now I AM running the autolite 3923 plugs... I was just curious as
to if somone could recommend anything that could actually improve
performance, or maybe why its acting like it is.

Wes
