    NGK tr6

    Well after I finished up the swap. I noticed I cracked one of my stock acdelco iridium plugs, so we went to advanced and I got some tr6's. I decided to gape them to .035 since im running 5-7 pounds. Well after I get the plugs in, it doesnt start running right. When I get on it, it felt like early detotonation or something. There was no knock that was being read through the interceptor. So after driving around and how bad it felt, I decided to put my stock plugs back in with the stock gap, and now it runs just fine. Anyone know why it doesnt like the .035 gap on the colder plugs?

    yeah they will sell them out of sets...with a boosted vehicle you just have to fund the gap it like...if its open to far then the spark will blow out causing it to run like crapola

    they are gapped at .060 right now. stock gap and stock ac delco plugs. my A/F ratio is right at 10.2/10.3 at full boost. cruising its normal around 14.2-14.8
