Some engines, boost, high CR require more voltage to jump the gap so the coil will put it out to do the job.

A bunch of good choices right there IMO.

You need to get used to doing your burnout in 2nd. Stab it HARD to get the tires going.
That 1-2 shft in the burnout is hard on a T400. You are lucky you have not broken something.
