Pulled a coupe plugs this morning
think this had something to do with my crappy last track outting.
pull 3 and all seem to be about the same, with a gap of about .042.
went and pick up spme new AC plugs and gapped the at .030, but I dont have the tools to change have of them. damn headers!
Im still gona race today, nothing else to do

Is that aluminum on the plug? I can't tell.
Have you been able to watch your fueling at all? Do you have a scan tool? It would be good to make sure you aren't detonating under boost.

Oh, and those Edelbrock headers really make plug changes harder? I hated changing plugs with the stock manifolds. The SLP's I put on made plug changes super easy. Of course I deleted the smog equipment so that gives me some more room.

for the record, hooker super comps (long tubes) are all easy except for the #1 plug.

Re: Pulled a coupe plugs this morning
Be careful running your car. Your about to male a big donation to the aluminum gods. That is piston on the spark plug. Either the blower is blowing out the flame or the ignition can't fire it. It could also be the tune up is off. Either way it misfiring under boost is very dangerous.
That looks as if it is about to be really costly!

Re: Pulled a coupe plugs this morning
I was thinking about getting 1 step colder NGK's(UR5?) but I read that lots of idleing and part throttle driving could couse the plugs to foul. this is my daily driver for the most part, I don't wanna be changing plus every 2 months.

I try the UR6's and see what happen, what kind of gap you think I should run? also I have a stock ignition system.
