As Boostn Said. The car was tuned with the Gap at 1.1 and never missed a beat on the dyno. He even drove it for a few hours before it deterated. This is with a correctly setup single coil setup with no MSD. Its more like a current issue to the coil. Running a gap of .6 is only band aiding another issue like wiring, or a dodgey plug, or a bad earth, bad coil charge times, bad coil saturation etc.

coil or the module on the dizzy. they get hot and start breaking ignition down. start there first. the module im talking about is the little black thing on the front of the engine side of the dizzy. that thing hounded me for weeks , coughing and sputtering on boost, but idling fine, revving fine on the spot..until i changed it (although i changed it to a much bigger IC&E unit)
