Like I said on ARS.net I knew I should have gotten off my *** and went to Steele.. It sucks that it tore up on you, but at least everything seems good to go as long as it didnt get the rings any. As soon as I get mine going and you get yours dialed in we are gonna do some damn racing! Gonna suck gettin my *** spanked by a 3800lb pig though.. lol

I hope you got yours going soon as its getting hot QUICK!!! I may be back at Steele in 2 weeks

Kp, you are right, i now know its capable of doing what i want....I was TRYING to sneak up on it...just had no idea the boost would go that high.....good thing the timing was low. Tomorrow I will pull that wastegate spring out and put in the 11psi spring that i have. The 1.32 housing did surprisingly welll......once i take the time to work on the tune down low, i think it will be perfect

20psi with spikes to 22ish on shifts .....97octane...too hot of plug (gasketed tr6 equivalent).....i just wasnt prepared to run that kind of boost. I had only planned on seeing 10-13psi and my setup was fine for that. I had never run the car even on the street with the cutout open as I just got it friday so I had no idea the boost was gonna go up. I just put a smaller wastegate spring in last night and ordered the headgaskets from Gmpartsdirect. Should be rockin again here soon. At least i know the kit is gonna perform!!!

I use a tial knockoff bov and wg. Joel uses the real thing when he supplies a kit. The knockoffs work fine but you dont know what spring you are getting in either. I had to trim a coil off the bov to get it right and SHOULD have installed the 11psi spring in the wastegate i have before i ever started the car but didnt hoping the supplied spring would be even lower.
Next passes will be in the same 1/4 et range i imagine with appropriate 330' and 1/8 times. My slip should look like
1.49
4.12 330
6.33 @111
9.85@ 140
the pass i did run had a 330' that equates to around a high 9.3 1/4 and a 1/8 that equates to a mid 9.5 1/4.......i wont planning on running that much boost again for a bit though as i want to sneak back up on it.

c/r is 9.3....i copied KP

It drives NICE off boost and better gas mileage.

Al i am gonna run the next step colder i think which is a 9322 i think...autolite. I got 9323 i think now. I am gonna run some el cheapo oil thru it for about 5 minutes to make sure any water or condensation is gone and then back to synthetic.

I looked at the headers/flanges etc and no leaks/cracks....thats really good news

the Autolite AR3911 and the NGK 7173 (or R5672A-8) cross to each other...both are heat range of 8...both are projected tips however...
the ones he had changed to on last motor were non-projected version of the same gasket seat plugs...same heat range...
NGK 4554 (or R5671A-8) is the number...
Jerry, I have these on-hand...OR...I can have either of the two mentioned by kp & MM today if I know before 2pm...
the non-projected R5671A's are available in heat ranges 7-11
the projected tip R5672A's are available in heat ranges 8-10

I'm trying the NGK BP7EFS stk# 3526 supposed to be one step colder than a TR6. Idles well....so far so good.

4554 and 7173 are 0.750 reach....stock is 0.708 reach...does the gasket design make up the difference?

I'm going to try NGK RS724-8 (7317) if the BP's don't work at 18psi.

both the 7317 and the 3526 are tapered seat plugs...of the same design...the racing designation given is only due to the heat range...per NGK
even the 7173 has a non-racing designated plug in a heat range of 7...

of the plugs discussed...the R5671A ("non-projected") is the only one that all heat ranges, 7-11, are designated as race plugs...I can only assume it is due to it's "non-projectedness"

also, of the plugs discussed, the group that the 7173 is in is the only group designated as projected...
although the TR5,TR6,BP7EFS and 7317 are not listed as a projected design, look at the difference between them and the 4554...
the pic in the old thread is a TR6 (4177) side by side w/ the 4554
