DAMN I only pay $5.00 for a set at my local NAPA. .035 gap is perfect. If you go to wide on a forced induction engine you get spark blow out.

well for starters i have a custom tune, and from what i can tell, it still runs pretty rich, i actually just now bought the ngk iridium IX 1 step colder plugs. I'm still on the stock right now, and it looks like they were getting too hot according to someone on here

my biggest concern is that zpp says that you CANNOT gap iridium plugs, but there are people on here saying you can.. things were alot less complicated with my 93 dodge shadow haha

efi is a weird thing when trying to read plugs. once you hit the idle side of it. the plugs get cleaned. to a degree.

if you have red or green on the plugs. change fuel, or stop running octane booster.

i guess what i'm getting from eveyr one is that we are just too hot which would make sense with our cars..i just hope i'm not lean....like i said tho gm stage tune and 3 inch pulley pretyy much stage 2...so i'll be pissed if its lean

yah if your still on the gm stage 2 tune, and still on the stage 2 pulley, i doubt you would be running lean..

i should have the plugs by thursday, so we'll see what it runs like without gapping them

that is out of a carburated engine (hence the initial timing and total timming)... do not compare to this... ive been on that site before,

on fi cars the white area will stay white, that does not mean lean wot...
