You're probably due for a new set of plugs now. If the car takes longer to start than it used to, plugs would be a good guess.\'98 A4 Camaro v6->v8 conversion, and STS kit next<br />v6: 13.6 Powerdyne, 13.2 150 shot, 13.8 120 shot, 14.3 85 shot, 15.7 stock<br />v8(na): 12.18@113, 392rwhp<br />Moderator on <a href=\"http://www.mtfba.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.mtfba.org</a> and <a href=\"http://www.frrax.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.frrax.com</a> (Road Race & Autocross)<br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/johnduncan10\" target=\"_blank\">Car pics</a>, <a href=\"http://www.trscca.com\" target=\"_blank\">TN Region SCCA</a>

Running like utter hell?
Care to explain that?
Is this on start up?
When it is warm?
Etc.
Be as specific as possible, I can not guess from the little info you gave
I experienced heat soak with my accel coil packs and I developed major misfires.
I went back to stock coil packs and I have been fine since.
Check the plugs, tell us the color and gapping.Race car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6

WELL ALL YOU OLD SCHOOL GUY KNOW ME (MIKE MALLOY). i'm thinking with all the mods i have, my car should be much faster. i haven't taken it to the track in awhile. off the line the car is a monster, very very faster. this is due to the 3000 stall converter and zero wheel hop. once i hit 60 mph, the car is a dog. i don't know if the tranny is slipping or what. i'm thinking of doing some serious weight reduction. i have all the bolt-on's. i'm thinking also that my car is really out of tune. i do have autotap and the maft+, but right now i have no laptop to see how te car is running.

Hard to say. Is it dogging just na, just when spraying, or both?
Could be a clogged cat. Could be knock retard taking the timing down. Could possibly be plugs or weak coils. Without seeing your sig, I don't know if you've swapped cams or not, that could be a factor. Some autotap info would help. With 20k on cold heat range plugs, they could be fouled, which would give you a weak spark up top.\'98 A4 Camaro v6->v8 conversion, and STS kit next<br />v6: 13.6 Powerdyne, 13.2 150 shot, 13.8 120 shot, 14.3 85 shot, 15.7 stock<br />v8(na): 12.18@113, 392rwhp<br />Moderator on <a href=\"http://www.mtfba.org\" target=\"_blank\">www.mtfba.org</a> and <a href=\"http://www.frrax.com\" target=\"_blank\">www.frrax.com</a> (Road Race & Autocross)<br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/johnduncan10\" target=\"_blank\">Car pics</a>, <a href=\"http://www.trscca.com\" target=\"_blank\">TN Region SCCA</a>

Auto tap or wide band dyno time.
When you get seriously mod'ed you need to spend some time tuning itRace car - gone but not forgotten - 1997 firebird V6
