Hey guys just recently (today) while going through 1st and 2nd at WOT when I change gear I get a popping sound, coming from exhaust I think?

Is this bad? it smells kind of funky afterwards. Its alot colder now than when I had my tune done, could it be overboosting?

BF MK11 Manual ute, injectors, monza, tuned to 380 RWHP.

Was done with half a tank of fuel.

what plugs/plug gap are you running Brods? Have you upgraded your fuel pump? Symptoms sound similar to a split fuel hose in the tank, which usually happens when the pump gets changed and the wrong fuel hose is used

How much boost are you running? Could try reducing the plug gap to .65

My car BA T would always missfire with plugs above .75 so I'm running .60 now with no problems and anything up to 21psi.
