going by the timing marks i need to pull less timing. my idle is rich, and my wot is good. am i right?

 

To read plugs Put fresh ones in then you need to make a pull then kill the motor then pull the plugs looks like you may have had it idling for a bit or drove around before pulling them.
Are these new plugs?

 

X2 need to see the plugs after a WOT pull, if you let it idle or drive it around they become useless!

 

the plugs are two weeks old. im gonna put some new ones in today, but ill have to pull them after a pull at ltx shootout i guess. wont have time to untill then

 

So what is the proper procedure for shutting the car down after a WOT pass? Turn the ignition off with you foot still in the throttle or let off and do it immediately after you lift?

 

If you can get someone with a cart or 4wheeler to pull you. I would make a hit down to the 1000ft. and then just let off the gas kill the motor then coast to the return road some tracks have a return road past the 1000ft and one at the end of the 1/4 depends where you are at. If you have a close tune you can do it all the way down the track then shut it off at the end. Good luck keep us posted.

 

X2 and if you don't have someone to pull you back, shut down the car after your WOT pass and coast it off the track to a safe area, and have a couple extra plugs in yours car, with ratchet and socket, swap out a couple plugs, make sure one of the plugs that you pull is #7. Then you can drive back to the pits and have a look.

 

That's an excellent idea about the extra plugs. Thanks all.

 

No problem!

 

Couldn't have said it better...Good post's

 

The only issue I see with that is putting cold plugs into a hot head. I was always told to never do that, since once the heads cool and contract, the plug will be seized. Am I wrong here?

 

I've never had problems, but I've always used antisieze too...

 

Nope, never had problems here either. There are many guys who do plug changes in between rounds when the motor is still pretty hot.
