    My 60' on the best run was 2.142 and that was with a lot of wheel hop actually. I was holding it at about 3k rpm and then letting the clutch out fairly quickly. After upgrading my suspension today I think that would have helped a lot. My car feels much less sloppy now.

    Oh my God it's like I have a completely different car now! Why have I never upgraded suspension on any of my other cars?!

    Oh yeah for sure. 2nd gear just didn't want to cooperate. I think I need to upgrade my LCAs too because I was wheel hopping like a mother last night.

    Yeah I think this will probably be a once a year type of thing though. I can't risk breaking my only means of transportation.

    Just got back from my first time ever at MOMs or at a drag strip for that matter. Best run was 14.4 but I'm sure if my car had actually wanted to shift to second gear the last couple runs I might have been able to break into the 13's.

    87 is actually what you're normally supposed to put in the 3.7L but I get better mileage and performance with 93. Plus it burns cleaner.

    3v spark plug issues

    Very good! I was a bit worried for you after reading about folks breaking 3-5 plugs.

    3v spark plug issues

    Sorry to keep bumping this thread but I also read another good idea would be to also loosen the plugs 1/8 to a 1/4 of a turn and then run the engine for about 30 seconds. That will loosen up some of the carbon buildup which is the cause for the plugs breaking. Thanks for the tip. I'll make sure...

    3v spark plug issues

    Also, in doing a bit of research the trick seems to be to use an impact to remove the plugs. Wouldn't hurt to soak the plugs overnight as well though. Check out this video: Ford 5.4 Liter 3 Valve Spark Plug Removal - YouTube

    3v spark plug issues

    Actually I'm sorta interested if anyone knows if there's any issues with the 5.0L and the 3.7L. I know the old 2V motors had issues with plugs shooting out whereas the 3V has issues with the plugs breaking. Wonder if there's any issues with the plugs in these new engines?

    Sweet. Let me know if those fix the problem.

    3v spark plug issues

    Definitely wouldn't be a bad idea. Soak the plugs in PB blaster for a while before you take the plugs out. Here's the TSB on the issue with instructions for removing them if things go south: Full Text Technical Service Bulletin
