  • spark plugs

    Is there any special type or recommened type of spark plug that I should use with nos and the reason I should get them. I heard that you should use a colder plug, but I don't know what this means or the reason for using them.

    Just about 99% of use use the NGK TR6's they are gapped to .35 if im not mistaken the smaller the gap the less of a chance you have the spark to get blown out. And i think it helps with detination. You can get these at thunderracing or tybrnemotorsports for like 20 bucks with shipping you really should get these especially if you are gonna run more than a 50 shot. Let me tell you wont be able too. You will awant bigger jets and to go faster. LOL

        I just installed my NGK TR6's a couple days ago. It went faster then I was expecting, actually had almost no trouble until #4 & 6? (pass rear 2) those were a pain. Check around at your local parts stores to see if they can order them before you go to Tbyrne or Thunderracing. If your lucky you'll find them for cheap like I did (Advanced Auto Parts $9.02). I called every autoparts store around here and no one knew what I was talking about except checker who said come in and order them for $20. I went in and they couldn't order them, so for haha's I went to aap and the guy took the time to look up the part number #4177 I believe and ordered them. Most places that carry NGK won't want to take the time to look up the number if you call. So I recommend going in or calling and giving the part #. Just my experience though.

          I gotta know... Do you nitrous guys always change your plugs prior to nitrous runs, or are there some plugs out there suitable for nitrous and n/a.

            Yes ngk tr6 spark plugs gapped at 0.035
            It is a colder plug (2 ranges colder from stock) to slow the burn.
            Nitrous in the cylinders burns much quicker
            My ngk plugs are permanently in there
            I run them n/a
            Sure it is not the best plug for an n/a set up but I prefer nitrous whenever I want.
            Even with a plug 2 ranges colder I am seeing 31 mpg on the highway
