Which plug do you read?
I know most engines have a specific cylinder or sometimes more than one that tend to burn hotter that the others. I was just curious to know which cylinder/s run hotter on the LS1 so I could look to that plug for detonation signs.

#7 typicially runs leaner then the rest, the back plug in the drivers side. #8 is the next worst wone, the last plug in the passnegers side.. the one you don't want to get to LOL. I'd at least look at #7, and if that doesn't look right, then start pulling the rest of them. A couple on each side would be a good idea at a minimum... but I agree with the stateent above, all of them every time would be the smartest thing to do.

being: 1,3,5,7 are on the driver's side and 2,4,6,8 are all on the passenger's side?

How are you guys pulling the plugs after a nitrous run? It's kinda hard for me because I have to drive the car somewhere to let that biach cool before I even get my hands near a hot engine. I can see it being easier at the track though since there's generally lot's of room to park the car, hang out and let it cool for awhile.

after a run you **** the car down and pull to the side somewhere on teh return road.. shut the car off as soon as possible. Unless you have a tow/support car that brings your car back to the pits, like an atv, or something like that. As for the hot engine bay, get used to it.

Agree on #7 first and always check. And if your running a wet kit pulling fuel off the rails, then stick with the drivers side primarily. I have only seen pass side go bad when there was a lot gone wrong, which it can all be seen thru the drivers bank. On a wet off the rail, the drivers side WILL go leaner, all things being equal, before any of the passenger side, to include #8.
