Go w/the TR-6's...any colder and you'll be really killing ur N/A power. I've run 150shot on TR-6's with almost 30degree's of timing. Just make sure u have fuel pressure above 45psi and u'll be fine.

Hey BRO!!

Yea I remember you. Car is freaking LOUD!
Im actually going to DPA tonight to meet some friends. Will be at the parking lot next to Taco Bell at 9pm.

If you want some honest advice get a TNT wet or NX wet kit. I have been VERY happy and have had no problems. The power she is making is very nice too. Hopefully Ill see you again..

yea i would go with a wet kit excpet for the fact that im getting the dry kit for a pretty good deal and i like the extra safety from not having to worry about manifold backfires from fuel puddling.

on another note, i may head up there tonite, haven't been in awhile so maybe ill stop in if i go.

I've just changed my plugs after running 1 year on the NGK TR-6's, and the tips were still white!!! I couldn't believe it, the plugs looked great and i've ran though a bunch of bottles. I stuck with those plugs once I saw how clean everything was burning.
