  • read my plugs.. NSF56K

    Some of the plugs look wet in the pictures - it is just the lighting. There were no shiny flecks visable to my bare eyeballs. The following pictures are as close-up and as focused as I could manage after an hour long plug change. The Kragen I went to did not have the regular old TR6 plugs, so I had to pay $7 a piece for iridium TR6s.


    The TR6 plugs pictured have seen over 100lb of nitrous with 91 octane. Much of that nitrous was with the stock timing - before I got HPTuners and realized that common mutterings of a "safe" 75 dry shot were false.

    Although these plugs were spared from the piston munching knockmonster later in their lives, it became apparent that salvation came too late and they had to be put to rest.

    Warning.. the following pictures may make you cringe.





    Here's the worst one..

    Not all plugs are pictured. I think the 1st and 3rd picture are of the same plug.

            yea I had 12* of KR max on my 14.43 run with a 75 shot. definitely not the safest thing having the stock tune in, lol. Some cars tune is fine and others are bad when they come from the factory. I am lucky it didn't hurt anything and I now have a safe nitrous tune in

              .....plus the stock tune is rich at WOT. Stock tune has too much timing for nitrous (some cars) eh? KR slows ya down..

                  yah 12* is alot...your so lucky you didnt bust anything

                  I dont think the plugs look all that bad...it seems your A/F is around where you want it to be...but the electrodes themselves do look a little worn

                    yea I didn't run the nitrous anymore that day when I saw that. I didn't know how to tune with hptuners yet either at the time so I couldn't fix it cuz I just got the software and then went out and ran

                      When I first scanned my car with hptuners, I tried running with a .047 jet (85rwhp, 100 crank) and I was getting about that much (8-12) KR.

                      I was surprised to see that the A/F wasn't completely off. I thought that with all the KR on the stock tune, I would see more melting and shiny flecks.
                      The plugs don't look as bad as I was expecting, but the center electrode on the first picture took a real beating... I wonder how that piston looks.

                            dont waste time posting tech. a joke here and there is fine, but you seriously need to cut the crap as you do it way to much. this isnt the lounge and the random mindless drivel you've been posting lately wont be tolerated. either help out,post useful info, or dont bother.

                            current car- 95 Trans am- bolt ons, parked and collecting dust. why? because **** it
