Rant about AC Delco plugs LOL!!!!
I've been having some issues with the car fouling out plugs and once I got my new tune I figured Id just clean my old fouled TR55 Platinums and see how the car runs. It drove perfect at part throttle but once I went WOT the car started running like ****. Figured it was my old plugs so I bought some AC Delco platinums ($5x) and threw them on. Even before I ragged on it the car it ran rough with a slight stumble then once I hit WOT the car ran worse than before. Now Im out $5x and the car still runs like crap LOL!!!
I've got some Iridium TR55's that a friend gave me and Im gonna throw them on this week to see what it does. Also gonna disconnect the O2's to rule that out since all of my ignition system is brand new. Sorry for the rant but....
DON'T YOU JUST HATE LT1 IGNITION PROBLEMS

Hmm, I know the LT1 ignition system is good but I can't seem to track down my problem. Im going to ditch my MSD coil for an OEM one, and replace the O2's. I dont see any reason why the car runs fine at part throttle then craps when I beat on it.
I've got an AC Delco opti, MSD wires, MSD coil, and always have fresh plugs. It definately runs better with my 30lb inj and MadZ tune, but the damn plugs foul everytime I go WOT. I know all my ignition system is new and there is no arcing at the coil or the plugs. Im leaning towards the O2's at this point since I don't know if they were ever replaced by the previous owner.

I also agree on the regular NGK's. I don't waste my money on platinum or iridium.

Update: I disconnected the O2's and the car runs fine now . I bought the AC Delco plugs since there are a lot of guys running OEM components with good results, so I figured Id do the same. Those Iridiums were free so I took them just to rule out that the plugs were crappy. Now I need new O2's LOL!!!!
I wasn't able to drive it around too much but it drives very smooth now. Even the small miss/stumble is gone when the engine is in the lower RPM. Glad I figured out the problem, but Im still going to buy an AC Delco coil just to be sure everything is in working order.
