Hey guys,

So I'm thinking of buying the Nos 5151 kit and running a 150 shot on my current engine. I have an MSD box to retard the timing. I have a wide-band..etc

But here's the thing, the engine n/a makes more than enough power for me. The nitrous will be used as a "just in case" type deal. I mean, I'll be lucky if I spray the engine once a year if that. So my question is, will colder plugs hurt n/a performance? Seeing as how my tune is completely dialed in right now, and will be n/a 99% of the time.


Thanks!

What heat range is in it now? Typically 6 heat range ngk scale works for heads cam pump gas motors. Small shot i'd run a 7. It wont hurt street performance off the sauce. Just keep an eye on them to make sure they dont foul, which they shouldnt. If tune is on they will work fine

I run 8's in my boost motor, i drive around alot and tune is a touch rich so the plugs fouled somewhat often, i'd just clean em off and replace them once or twice a season.


Once you spray you wont wanna go back to na

Thanks for the reply. AFR told me to start with Autolite 3922. They're listed as heat range D11. Which doesn't seem to make sense. I also read the last number is the heat range. Which would be 2. Guess I got some more research to do.

Those seem to cross reference to ngk 7 heat. That should be good

autolite number go down in heat lower means colder NGK goes the other way up means colder
