I've been on copper LFR6A-11's @.039 for about 20k now and just had my first misfire code in #3 haha. May try .035 or .037 on the next set. You all using plugs with the same reach as stock? or using lsj plugs ?

the interceptor will translate the MAF reading into a HP number, which will tell you how much your flowing. On a stock pulley you should be flowing enough air for like 220hp. I'll go see if my interceptor can display CFMs. Actually, go look up your MAF's lb/min if you can
