The car was running well and I just did this, um, I guess, because I thought I should?! Have read the info here about the unsuitability of the platinums, particularly of the resistor type.

ive done several cars (rx7's) with aftermarket computers (haltechs, we are actually a dealer), and you cant always feel small changes in mixture. usually you can feel the extremes, but not so much the middle area. leaner it might feel crisper, until it will start to buck (v8 prolly wont do this), or get flat spots.
