    Thought I lost the motor

    Long story short, went to the 1/8 mile track, did a good burnout got up to he line hit the trans brake stalled it up to 4500 RPMs took off and the motor ran well to the 60 ft and them bogged down? By the end of the track it was running on 7 cylinders. It felt bad. I took it home and pulled the plugs and they looked good so I started pulling plug wires and the coil closest to the turbo took a dump. Put a new one on the next day and she is running smooth!
    107000 miles and still running strong!
