Default Spark Plug advice

I purchased a modded 98 Z28...cam/juice only about a year ago. The engine smoked towards redline. SO, without checking anything I built another motor along with rear etc... I started checking the PCV system today on the stock motor and noticed a leak..replaced the PCV valve, fixed the hose and the smoking! I did a leak down test and every cylinder was below 10%. The car has Champion RS14YC which is stock (TR55's), and gapped at .039". I was wanting to try out the new nitrous kit and was curious if I should switch the plugs out? I know factory gap for that plug is .050, and the NGK is .044. Yes, all the plugs looked good. Any advice would be appreciated. Just wanted a 75-100 shot to test the system.

Get TR6s (PN 4177) and gap them at .038

Thanks for reminding me as to why I don't post on here! I did a search....it stated take away .004" for every 50hp gained via power adder and NA. As stated above RS14YC Champion is .050" gap for factory, which is equal to the TR55's gap of .044". I have the champions set at .039" gap now, is this ok? Maybe there's a reason you have a burnt car, LT1 running 11's, and a carb on your setup!

Now you can throw a huge shot at it since you have a spare motor

For one you *** clown I don't have a 11 sec LT1 and two there is a carb on my TA so I could laugh at idiots like you trying to use that as leverage.


If you would have searched you would have found this post in the sticky in the Nitrous section
