So, is the TR7 line one step colder than the TR6's. I haven't found anything on heat ranges as of yet.

No problem man, when you guys refer to "It just gets old"
who are you talking about?
I dont make fun of that many people on here especially the ones with high post counts. I show them a little more respect because I feel they have earned it.
So hopefully you aren't talking about me.
Anyways, back on subject.
I posted the same question in the Nitrous section with some different oponions for those who would like to check that out.

Default Heat Range.

Higher The Number With Ngk Plugs, The Colder The Plug. This Is According To An Ngk Heat Range Chart.

I made around 5 N2O passes on my Iridium plugs and they looked no worse for the wear. What coating is coming off? I believe the NGK and Denso plugs center electrodes are solid iridium.

Lately I have been running either TR8's or Autolite 3911's @ .025.

Derty has used TR8's + nitrous.

I"m running a TR7IX on a 450rwhp car all motor, 175 shot on the street and 200-250 on the track. Works well for others I've talked to. It's one step colder than TR-6s.

Thanks, I will be putting the TR7IX's I have sitting here in after I do a little tuning so I don't foul them.

Maybe this is the way to go.
7 dollars a piece from NGK is a little expensive.
For that price they better be a damn good plug.
