is it just my imagination??? im still boosting the same... mods are in my sig...


Maybe i was overexpecting the performance of the plugs to be great..



However the smoothness of the acceleration has increased ALOT.... could that be the reason why it doesnt "feel" as fast as it did before?



Mods in sig.... NGK BRK7e plugs gapped at .045

 

You got em gaped to high.

 

way to much gap. I have my NGK's at .40 now but I'm going to a .35 tomorrow. Regap them.

 

Bah.. i was told .045...


so what is it... .040 or .035

 

Go 35 dude.

 

.035 Deff

 

Damn Photo... didn't know you had plugs... maybe I need to get some. Will it make any difference with just Stage 2? What if I go 2.9?

 

Have you been binge eating at McDonalds lately?

 

.35!!!!!! oh wait... someone alread said that.

 

You should get some colder plugs, the car will run much smoother.

 

I'll have to grab a set of whatever Photo's running this weekend or next...

 

what everyone else said

 

many have said .040... many have said .035


I read some threads i just searched.... looks like .40 - .037 is the way to go... ill try .038

 

Posted on Cobalt-Addiction.com from the Intense/CobaltSS forum;

.045" for stock pulley
.045" for 3.10" to 3.0"
.040" for 3.0"- 2.9" to 2.80"
.035 for 2.70" - 2.50" (2.5" is approx 21 psi of boost.)

Two things:

1. Your plugs may have came gapped slightly to big (not likely)
or
2. Your supercharger is asking you for a better cooling solution.

The bigger the gap you can get away with, the better. Try regapping to .040" (No smaller) and see how it feels. If you gap down to .035" and don't really need to you are just shrinking the flame nucleus in the spark. The higher the cylinder heat/pressure the more resistance your ignition must overcome to jump the gap. If regapping to .040" does not help, you may want to record intake air temp and possibly monitor your exhaust gas temps/ content to see what's going on in there.

 

someone else who doesn't have their head up there ass

rock on

 

well it turns out that i had them gapped at 40 to begin with...


it was 66* out today and maybe it was because i driving the whole time and then punched it.... like any supercharged car, it runs better at night..



just floored it now and it pulled hard like usual..


Guess its just like my grand prix.. slower during the daytime (more heat)

 

Methanol time

 

to kick you back in the seat? They are spark plugs lol, they arent going to give u any horsepower

 

guess i wasnt specific..



Before plugs... car kicked me back in my seat...


after plugs.... car no longer kicks me back in my seat.


happy?

 

yeah, by the title of the thread seemed like you were expecting something from them...
