Default who runs br8s on the street?

Just curious how many miles you guys get on the street with 8s

I have to drive 150 miles each way to the track.
Can I drive to work and back about 30 miles a day for a few weeks or will they go to crap quickly on the street?

Depends on your tune.

9s here on the street for me. I don't drive my the Z everyday though, probably about 1000 miles on my plugs with no driveablity issues thus far.

I run 8s in mine NA and on the jug. Never fouled one.....it's all in how clean your idle tune is.

My buddy keeps the 8's in his motor when he makes n/a passes....No issues.

It's a carb'd motor with a bit of a rich idle though, it does start to foul the plugs pretty quickly.

An EFI car with a clean tune shouldn't have issues.
