I was having fouling problems with retracted gap plugs colder then a 7 heat range, they were only good for one time to the track and that was it. I've had these 3922s (like #7 NGK) for a while now and still working fine..

I can tell you now I made a mistake. After looking @ all of the tuning instead of being @ 17 degree's we went to(18.5) 19. So That is where I think the horsepower came from. Sorry if I caused any confusion guys. But I actually took the time to look it all over last night. Staying up 20 hrs got the best of my memory. Hell you can tell I tought I ran 10.22@134 lol when it was 10.25@134 
Oh well I got sleep last night and feel much better today

But I have relocation brackets ordered from UMI. So that will be the only change made before I run it again. I was the last one to run that night and I pulled some strings for the techs to let me in since the Lanes were closed. The Stenod cage is going in this weekend. I am only going to change what I mentioned and run it one more time before a gear swap. Stalled to 3400 and the brakes werent holding too well LOL So I will be in the market for better brakes also. But Im going to hook up my line lock too. Hope I can get a 9 sec pass. Dam and I tought I was finished.

To say the plugs didnt contribute to him making more power would be silly. I mean we can play internet rambo all day if you wanted to. I know what I mean but it dont always get it across like I want it. You're doubting the wrong person here, thats a fact.

AFR is @ 11.4 across the board. With the tr6's it was 11.4 and with the NGK 8's it was 11.4 Via my inboard LC-1 and logged on my HP tuners cable.
