Default talked to the guy that bought my old mach

So saturday night i talked to the guy that bought my old mach. kind of interesting story. first he said it threw the sparkplugs on the driver side head. why would this happen. not one or two but all four. then on the mach i had full bolt ons 4.10 gears and he threw it on the dyno and it only put down 302 hp and 320 rwtq. this is with longtubes, underdrive pullys, tuner, off road h, RAI, NGK tr-6 plugs, 4.10 gears, intake spacer, ported and polished tb. and i think that is it. i was surpised bc before the headers and pullys i ran a 12.3 on slicks launching at 5500. kinda weird dont you think?

well, if it threw the plugs then there is an underlying problem causing to dyno less, but dyno's are BS anyhow.
