I ran on the same set of AR3910's all of last year. Worked fine on the street, idling, etc.

Might want to give them a try.

One heat range. They are both extended tip race plugs.

The extended tip should have a greater chance of trouble because it hangs out further into the chamber, but I like that if you can control the engine. When I want to try running really hard and I'm not sure of my tune, I put the 3933 plugs in that are not extended and let it happen.

i put in the tr6 equivalent gasketed plug yesterday...autolite 3923. Idle is noticeable better as well as off idle acceleration. GOing to Orlando in the car tomorrow and we will see how mileage does as well.

I used the Autolite AR94's last time gapped to .032, they seemed to work real nice, idle well. May not last as long as the NGK's since there sidegapped though. First time at the dyno the car made 797, so i figured it was worth a change going 1 heat range colder than the the TR6's. Last time out made 885@5800.

Congrats on the 9.71 pass today Kyle. I hope you didn't hurt anything. Your car looked like it was smoking alot after the 1/8th.

It was nice talking with you today also.

Track prep was good.... it was so good it bogged the car and that was only a 1.9 60'
It kicked the pedal back at me LOL

I was done by 3:20 LOL Thank god for a wench....
Water keep seaping up thru the track.... same problem they had before and the reason the NHRA wont run there....
Well we know the car can run the 8 sec pass we just need to get her to do everything we want in one pass LOL
Gunna check everything out 1st and see if its only the gaskets..... there was some water in the cyl. when we pulled the plugs..

Oh and found my missing problems on friday night...

the car did not like those NGK plugs...
Put the AR474's in there and she loved them.....

Havent touched the TUNE at ALL... car made 1022rwhp only pulling to 6200 rpm's...

Thanks to Stenod for a Bad *** Turbo kit
