Default How will a car run....

How will a car run on the motor back and forth from the track if its say setup for a 250-300 shot with pulled timing and colder plugs? I am trying to figure out if it is feasable to drive to the track with this setup.

I notice a lot of carbon build up on my plugs which it is a symptom of running too cold a plug on motor. It just forces you to change the plugs often, which is always a good thing for nitrous anyway.

can you run a timing tuner ? that way you can use your n/a timing until the n20 tuner retards your timing when activated.

yes a cold plug can do that, but you can just sand blast them to clean that off, and I normally hit the tips with a propane torch to cook any liquids out of the insulators before I put them back in. You can reuse a nonresistor AR472 plug many many times before having to replace it.

In cold weather, the cold-start enrichment (CSE) is especially hard for cold plugs to take so I use a CTS tricker box to get out of CSE as soon as possible which is normally a minute or two.

I vote for plan B. Get a trailer. There are two advantages.

1. If something brakes, and it will over time, you have a way of getting the car home.
2. You have a perfect excuse to go buy a new truck
