Procharger + Nitrous = Which Plug?
Procharger + Nitrous = Which Plug? Well guy's, Im bumping the boost on up to 10lbs and throwing a 75 Dry shot on the ol' Camaro this week. My question is, what Spark plug should I go with? Plain and Simple...
Did my fair share of searching and found nothing.
Thanks, Blake

With the increase in cylinder pressure and heat from boost plus nitrous you'd be a FOOL to run a tr6. Need to look into the NGK or equivalent race plugs with a non projected tip at least 2 heat ranges colder then the 6's.

if it was my car, i would put TR55s in it.
reason being, i KNOW it needs a colder plug, but going colder then 55s will greatly increase the potential to foul out with street driving.
ideally, i would want to run a plug colder then that.. but i would atleast feel safer with the 55s... although in my head i realise thats a "good enough" approach (a compromise) and not ideal.

i just know a few people (that know what they're doing) who do have that problem..... in anycase, thats my perspective on it for a street car. like i said, even i know its not ideal.. its a bit of a gamble/compromise... if you wanted to err on the side of safety then yea, run a colder plug then that.

Don't forget spraying Nitrous will also cool down the intake charge.

With cylinder pressures, comes heat. Your plugs would have also aided in the extreme melt down you had. Plugs extract heat. Thats there job. Happy motoring.
