you might try the Denso racing iridiums, cleaned up my top end break-up, but perhaps you have a more serious coil/electrical issue
it's always something with these cars, I just couldn't take driving a Mustang like every other high school/college kid in this town

Speaking of tune, i know that you leaned out the AFRs and advanced the timing for these races from your street tune, and were running with an almost empty tank of gas. You'd better be careful, popping a motor racing an FD would be pretty embarrassing

I should have my FD ready next week to play:-)

If I try and accelerate through it, it feels kind of 'lumpy,' not cutting out or anything but it just stops accelerating. AFRs are in the high 10s, so I don't think that's it. EGTs and Fuel px look fine too. Very frustrating.

You also can tell nothing from the video that Ihor posted, that's obvious

Will work for horsepower
I had the same problem with traling plug wire it seemed to drop h/p about 15/20% I later found out the inside of plug wire was loose and had white chalkey dust. It ran fine until upper rpm's. It also caused higher egt temps.
