D585 coils and dwell time

No.
But that assumes you don’t have other tables that can alter the dwell times. Battery voltage tables often skew the dwell tables and add dwell if voltage drops. Just be sure nothing else is affecting your dwell times. I run 4ms (and only at high boost/rpm) and have never had a spark intensity issue on the d585’s. But I don't run a super radical combo. E85 and 20-25lbs seem to light off just fine. Even with a little water/meth sprinkled on top.
The other option is to sell or trade them for the D581. (old square truck coils no ne wants). Those coils don’t auto fire. And you can run the dwell times up to 6-7ms and they will stomp a D585. But most think the D585 is the best coil, so they seem to be the hot sellers.

Can you post a table how you setup for coil dwell? I have a methanol 5.3 with D581 coils and am having some spark blowout.

I was running the stock holey 58x coil settings, I think the default is 3.5ms dwell.

I'll give it a shot next weekend at LS fest! Have any experience pushing BR7EF plugs past 30lbs? I tried the NGK race non resister -10 plugs and had crazy electrical issues with sensors.

Many have, I’m not a fan of it. I just buy the NGK resisted boots. They are great anyway. They screw on easily and have a nice positive snap connect. Made of hard heat resistant plastic. They have a 90 that works well for most stuff I do. IF you shop around you can find them for about $5 each.

Then you can run non resisted plugs what ever heat range you want. Id run the 8’s. If you are in pinch the iridium plugs are available in cooler ranges and resisted. But usually about $8 a plug.
