Default Slight Hesitation?

Ok. Let me try to describe whats happening. At any part throttle acceleration I feel an ever so slight hesitation. If I was to drive off from a stop at half throttle and my foot never moved. I would feel a slight bog or hesitation off and on as the rpms climb "almost" not noticable but I am VERY in tune with my car, Yet at WOT the car pulls steady and hard all the way to redline. I changed the fuel filter and still feel it. Think a basic tune-up would take car of it? Or is this just something I will always feel. Anyone else have this issue?

Mine did the same thing and new plugs/wires resolved that problem for me.

Yea. I figured. Kind of a dumb Q to ask when I dont have tune up parts in place, but just wanted to see what I got back on it. Whats up with the "over the valve cover" wires? Are they worth it, where do you get them or do you custom fit? Whats the prefered Plugs to run?

most people run taylors wires.. i got a universal set of MSD 8.5 and custom made them over the valve cover.. really a must if you have LT's.. and most people are running the NGK TR55 spark plug.. great plug...

Thunder Racing a sponsor here sells the kit. I didn't want to mess with it so I just ran my wires the traditional way eventhough I have LT's and I haven't had any problems with the LT's melting the wires or anything. As for plugs I highly recommend NGK TR-55's.
