Tr55 plug

I had the tune from Madtuner in that pcm so not only did I NOT spray in 4th gear(4.10s and 26"DRs) I did not have the nitrous activated at the top of each gear to try to avoid problems. NEVER burned a plug or hurt a piston. 255lph racetronix pump and wire kit and 28lb. injectors

all I can say is you got lucky....more likely to hurt it at low rpm than high, full timing and the wrong plug, all makes for a bad situation. You prob had it jetted rich enough that the extra fuel was actually masking the real issues. Now with that being said please don't take my comment as saying that rich is safe. Being too rich is just as dangerous as being too lean.
