It's possible they're made but stores don't stock them...I know performance and autozone weren't able to order anything except the iridiums.

Anyway I swapped the iridium 2 steps out for the autolite 3922's today and found a miserable situation with those ebay boot springs (green powder?) so out came the vac to get it all out and took out those retarded springs for the stock stuff...ugh...what a nightmare; I guess I melted the springs?!?. 3922 much smoother than the iridiums.

yeah well it was hot as ***** when we dyno'd it was well over 100 degrees so he said it should improve as the weather cools but this was all he could squeeze out of it!

When will people realize that not every dyno is going to read the same . Dyno's are a tool, not a benchmark.

Those ngks are non-resistor, I don't suggest them. We stock the ngk bkr8eix if you really want them. I suggets the bkr7e that we stock. I don't think those are on the site though

Even without nitrous that dog won't hunt monsignor. That's about 30hp off conservatively. He's got full exhaust and a cai!

I'll realize that dynos aren't the same when you realize that stage 3 is worthless!
