Default 100 dry shot and spark plugs @ high altitude

Hello everyone,

I plan to get the NOS 5177 dry kit and run a 100 shot.

My car:
2000 Z28, A4, 2.73's, Vig2800, lid, catback

It generally runs 14.0x @ 100 at my home track (bandimere) here in CO at 5800 feet.

Currently I am running NGK TR55 plugs and my question is do I need to switch to the TR6's for this application at this altitude?

Should knock 1/2 to full second off of time. I say tr6's at about .035/.036 gap. Let us know your results.

Thanks for the replies guys, sounds like the plug swap is in order.

I've actually taken my car to Kansas City and run a 13.12 there so it would be nice to be able to hit that.

I am planning on using a WOT switch and a window switch (probably 3000-6000 rpm).

And yes, the altitude sucks, I have to spray 100 shot to run what I can run at sea level.
