the only time i watch that show is when i talks about tech stuff, he has given some good tech tips, besides that he's just does what a bussines man has to do and any way if E3 is a sponser he has to talk about that although he does not believe any of that ****.

But the biggest of them all was the electric supercharger over here every honda and toyota had it. Those people who made that **** sure made allot of money.

 

I am running a set of AFR heads and needed a gasketed plug I went with the NGK FR5... Any thoughts on them?

 

Saw the car as a roller on craigslist sometime last spring

 

I did....WOW!!

 

FYI - According to Marlin Davis (at Hot Rod) in a tech article RE: Top Fuel Dragster engines (about 8 issues ago or so), the above statement was true (i.e. - past tense) but now, like all things engine-related, advances have been made to the degree that electrode erosion no longer completely eliminates the side electrode in 660 ft; Hense the increase in (estimated) HP from 5k to as high as 8k.

Additionally, I recall (a number of years ago - 80 something) I actually saw one team's engine that was using THREE plugs per cylinder - but my father told me that NHRA changed the rulebook and made two plugs per cylinder the maximum after that team dominated the field for that single year.

 

Michigan Tech is where I got MY Mechanical Engineering degree - back in 88.

 

I run AFR's as well and this is the plug I ended up going with and she runs great:

FYI - I did a ton of research before I got these and also spoke with AFR.
