Default HELP sparkplug problem

Hello im tryin to change my spark pluges so that i can run the nitrous i just installed. Im having trouble geting the 8th plug I tried to get it from under the car. But i couldnt get my arm all the way threw because of my headers I have slp longtube headers. Is there anyway i can change the 8th plug without goining under the car. An how often do i have to change my pluges when I am running nitrous?

You need to find someone with a stick for an arm and a baby's left hand. What kind of plugs are you using? TR-6?

you wont have to worry about changing the plugs youll need a new motor with tr55's i would highly reccomend putting tr6's in and the intervals at which you have to change your plugs depends on how often you spray your nitrous and how big of a shot i change my plugs every 4-6 hits

I get you now man I looked at the Nitrous section and found that chart TR6 are 1 step colder. 1 step down for each 100hp? somthin like that. Ok besides that from what i told u how often would I have to change my pluges after each bottle i use?

you should be fine running a couple bottles through with 100 shot and tr6's i would say every 4 bottles if it were mine just to be safe but some people are going to have different opinions
