Re: [tech] roc is missing on acceleration

["Alex Ting" <alex@millenniumsolutions.net>]

interesting.....

this is exactly what my rocco is doing.
the plug wires are fairly new Mallory
8mm Sidewinders, but because of how they
are designed, I don't use the little resistor ends
that screw onto my Bosch Platinums.

I've got some stock wires at home, so I'll
try this when I get off work.

Thanks......
