Default Changing Spark Plugs w Nitrous
How often do you guys change your plugs? Going on 2 months here and 2 refills on the 10lb bottle using TR6's.

The passenger side plugs are a PITA. I haven't put my TR6's in yet, they're going in tomorrow, then the track that night. I'll probably change them with the oil from now on though.

I change my TR6's about every 8-10k miles. They look fine everytime I change them.

Some of ya'll need to start hitting the gym if you can change plug #8, even with LTs. Get some meat on those bones! (Unless you removed your A/C and/or other crap.)

I'm doing my Tr6s today and can't decide on the gap. I'm running a 125 dry shot through a descreened MAF and I've got a lid and cutout with some free mods. What do you guys think? .038?

I don't know about 50k, but a small shot on a street/strip car can cerntainly go longer than everytime to the track. I have with no issues.
Gap on the smaller shots about 38.
