Well guy's, Im bumping the boost on up to 10lbs and throwing a 75 Dry shot on the ol' Camaro this week. My question is, what Spark plug should I go with? Plain and Simple...

Did my fair share of searching and found nothing.

Thanks, Blake

didnt you just blow up some parts not too long ago?

With the increase in cylinder pressure and heat from boost plus nitrous you'd be a FOOL to run a tr6. Need to look into the NGK or equivalent race plugs with a non projected tip at least 2 heat ranges colder then the 6's.

Ed Blown Vert

Yep, but that was because I ran out of fuel on a single pump. And because I race my car. Not because of the plugs.

You're pretty bright man. What is your reasoning that you don't run the correct heat range plug in your car?

Hey, why don't you back off there, chief. Ed never said what he did was the best option. He simply stated what plugs he uses. No need to be a *****.

WOTFMAN

Wow, man why the hostility? Im asking a general question on his reasoning and then you fly in like a caped crusader to save the day. Chill yourself. No one is being a ***** here intentionally if that was indeed the way you took it.

if it was my car, i would put TR55s in it.

reason being, i KNOW it needs a colder plug, but going colder then 55s will greatly increase the potential to foul out with street driving.

ideally, i would want to run a plug colder then that.. but i would atleast feel safer with the 55s... although in my head i realise thats a "good enough" approach (a compromise) and not ideal.

If this isn't sarcastic hostility, then I don't know what is.

WOTFMAN

iTrader: (3)

It sure wasn't intended to be.

Oh my. a 8, 9, or even 10 can be driven on daily if the person wanted it to be. Trim the fueling at idle back some and clean up the AFR there throw some timing in the low and midrange and theres no reason you should foul them out.

MrDude_1

iTrader: (4)

should they foul out? no..

i just know a few people (that know what they're doing) who do have that problem..... in anycase, thats my perspective on it for a street car. like i said, even i know its not ideal.. its a bit of a gamble/compromise... if you wanted to err on the side of safety then yea, run a colder plug then that.

The TR6's is working for me, I see no reason to change yet.
Don't forget spraying Nitrous will also cool down the intake charge.

WOTFMAN

iTrader: (3)

You seem a little caught up in the cooling of the intake charge to forget that with nitrous regardless of its cooling effect, is still a power adder and increases cylinder pressure. With cylinder pressures, comes heat. Your plugs would have also aided in the extreme melt down you had. Plugs extract heat. Thats there job. Happy motoring.

Ed Blown Vert

iTrader: (2)

Yes Nitrous just like any other power adder, increases cylinder pressure. But no plug would have saved me on my engine damage.
