hi ok i understand that iīm gona try this 35F on a 50psi but i donīt have access to a colder plugs for now Iīm in Iceland , so i need to use these 8īs so like you can see on the latest pic of the tip that was cutted of the plug whith the 18°timing should i go back 3° to 15° or lower maby 14°where i started at first

I understand !!! off course i need to have the mixture accurate before i decide final timing, but should the blue line be on the 90° bendt or may it be just right below ???

thanks a lot

#8 plug should be fine just start at 14* ....and we like our timing mark just on the tip of the electrode.

Just my suggestions, I'm no expert.

sorry iīm not so good in English but not sure exactly what you mean,

like i see it

from the end of the tip first there is this brownis part then starts grey bluish colored part then grey part that is all the way down

the timing mark isnīt it the mar between the grey bluish and the grey all the way down ???

and should it be on the 90°bend ???

Best pic I could find.
The timing mark in the pic is about as asgressive as we ever get, 90% of the time we want it closer to the end or farther away from the bend.

When you hear people say they want there mark past or at the bend they are talking about N/A set ups.

Now the disclaimer.... every motor likes something different timing wise, where we run ours might not be the best/fastest on your motor.
We like to run ours leaner than most with low timing.

I dont claim to be an expert (I did stay at a holiday inn last night) but I have learned alot from looking at TONS of plugs over the last few years. Hell I walk around the pits looking at other guys plugs just to see where they run them and how there cars run with the plug looking that way.

Just trying to help a few guys not hurt parts.

I will be asking you for some advice soon. My motor is almost done, just needs headers and a converter and a few nick nacks.

Well it is inaccurate imo. The majority of the ls members here, including myself, have found to be super rich with the fuel jetting set by a few companies. It "seems" to be even richer for those running bigger shots. I'm only referring to those running high fuel pressure setups, 50-60 wot psi. Super rich is not safe!

I ended up whith F35 jet and pressure 55psi, found my AFR in mid 12īs and used 14°of timing
i picked up 13mph from NA but i didnīt have enough traction for the full 200shot so i used my controller (NOS Launcher) to ramp it in started whith 25% 2800 and up to 100% 4500
best result after the day Et 10.3@140 , 6.7@109 60ft 1.57 still spinning out of the hole , i have 3.42 gears ,mn6 tranny and 26" et street on 16inch

i need either better/bigger tires or ramp the shot better.
I did better 60ft on only 100 shots

but thanks for all of your help guys

You think that jetting is heavy my nos plate came with a 62/44 for a 150 shot. I had it down to a 42 and a 65 nitrous jet and it still never did clean up. Motor tune was at about 12.5 a/f too, I know that was o.k. as it never picked up any more power by leaning it out any more (track it never went any faster either)

I could have probably gotten away with a 35 fuel jet and been o.k with it, or gone up to a 78 nitrous jet with that same fuel LOL.

Listen to these guys, what they are telling you is correct.
