hey guys please help me....everytime I go into boost over 5k my rpm needle will jump from say 5k to 7k or 6k to 8k...I thought that the boost was knocking out the spark so i changed my plugs and the problem did go away for 2days but returned...also the car is studering in high rpm..a friend said it may be a cracked ringland. any one know what this might be? if it were a cracked ringland wouldn' t
there be other symptoms? please help, thanks.

 

Did you gap your new spark plugs?

 

do y ou mean use 2 step colder plugs? Yes...

 

the tach goes wild? or revs to 8k without accelerating the car(wheel spin/clutch slip?).. ?

to gap the plugs is to set the electrode and tip to a cartian distance from one another so the spark travels the correct distance or what not.
