    My car was running like crap after the drags!!!

    Well on my last pass of the night about a month ago I lost a very big pipe plug that was blocking a vaccum port for a boost-a-pump about 1/3 of the way down the track. Engine was idling like crap the whole way home, but I didnt know I lost the plug till I got home (near monroeville). Well the plug was on the left bank of the engine and this is what I found after changing the plugs for a rough idle even after I fixed the leak. ( I found one of the GREMLINS that Mike from Wolfpack told me would pop up LOL )

    Holy Crap! Never seen that happen before. Did the new plugs fix the problem?

    The plugs were only three of the eight the others were fine the three were all on the left side where the vaccum blew out. They only had about 800 miles on the plugs...

    I see that the porcelain is missing on the one plug.
    Did you ever find it?
