Default another opti i think this is the 5th one

so i was driving my car and all of a sudden it started downpouring and of course the LT1 started to stumble. so i had to 2 step it the whole way home so it wouldnt stall at lights. so today i went to see how it was and it idles fine but once i put it in drive it stumbles and stutters horribly. it seems like its the optical sensor for the injectors but unsure. ill find out tommorow when i start to tear into it. im sick of this opti im debating on getting the Dynaspark seems like an extremly well built unit just looking for some feed back on either the dynaspark or other options (by the way all my opti's were free but remaned i think that may be half the problem.)

yea i figured that but for them all being for free i didnt mind the hour and a half it took me to change it. but now with all the mods i really just wana drive it ya know. so you think an AC delco would be fine cause i saw the dynaspark and it looks like an excelent unit as well?

i put silicone around my seals in the opti all the way around it. just a clear silicone. It worked great and never had anymore issues when i put the 2nd opti in
