hmm...dyno charts of the Vortech arent too impressive, with nearly no extra power <6000.
turbo still seems to be the better way to go, IMO. better power/torque curves.

This also happend in my old Cobra w/a blower(seems to be a cobra thing.) The forced air is actually blowing out the spark(like a candle). .035(thirtyfive thousandths) works well on a mustang but may not on a honda. You need to get it down 10-15 thou. below the stock gap. I am not sure what that is on an S2k. On a 'stang its .047. so .035 works well. An S2K might be smaller to start with so double check, don't just assume that .035 will work.
Idealy you want a huge gap but to have that you need a huge spark. Sooo, to compensate for a weak spark you need to narrow the gap.

I lowered my gap to about 35 thou and am having no problems in the upper RPM's now. The car runs great. Now I just need to decide if I want a VAFC or not.
I guess I need to get anouther dyno run to. Ill wait until I make a decision on the VAFC though.
