not sure, but my guess would be around the $3/pound like most.

... been runnin' TR6's since my motor was forged and built with the Mamo H/C setup I have now. Gonna' have the tune done once I get my timing tuner in. The kit is all installed ... just waiting on my timing tuner, switch panel, and pillar pod with autometer guages.

Once it's completely installed, I'll have the wiring checked out to ensure there's no oversight on my part. Then, Geoff will finish off my tune he owes me finalization on. I'll have it dyno'd on nitrous with the current TR6's and read the plugs immediately afterwards ... if everything looks good, the new TR6 plugs will go in.

175 dry kit is coming next ... along with twin fuel pump system and bigger injectors and 2-step colder plugs with a tighter gap. My current 150 shot will then be jetted down to 100 HP and will become my Stage II.

After I get tired of spraying, the APS twin turbo's will be on the way. Then, the wet kit will be jetted back up to 150 and will be progressively controlled to keep the cylinders cooled down for the turbo setup. I plan on spraying it progressively starting with 50 hp @3000 > 80 hp @ 3750 > 100 hp @ 4250 > 120 hp @ 4750 > 135 hp @ 5250 > and 150 hp @ 5750-6750 ... same for 2nd/3rd/4th gears.

Bogarts and 315 MT's coming in about 2 months, once I get the nitrous finalized and tuned ... give me a chance to play around with the added power before hitting it with the 175 dry kit and second stage.

Actually, the ones with the motor build were changed out about 2,000 miles ago. I'm pretty ****-retentive when it comes to changing plugs and fluids.

I was typing in the post above after you replied. My plans for the car are above ... don't believe I had finished editing that before you posted your last post.

They're at .032, which is where you would normally start when tuning for nitrous with the 1st dyno run/scan on a smaller jetting, anyway, so they're good. After scanning, Geoff will probably wanna' gap them a lil tighter ... depends on what he sees with a .032 gap on the first run with a small hit. As the tune goes up for a bigger hit on the 2nd run, it will be re-scanned to see where the gap again needs to be. On the 3rd run, it will be a 150 shot and the gapping will then be determined from what the scanner reports back. I believe it should end up at about a .027-.028 gap.

That's a good gap to go with at 100-125 shot. With a 150 hit, optimal tuning and precise gapping is of utmost importance. Better too tight than too wide for ... safety sake.
