What gap for spark plugs are you using?
What gap for spark plugs are you using?
I have the Autolite copper 1 step colder. I set mine up at .043, I start spraying when I fill the bottle. First spray by the weekend.
i have NGK 1 step colder on my car. and i an planning to get NOS 50 shot dry kit soon. what is the recommended spark plug for my application?
also i never gapped my 1 step colder plugs when i got them. what is spec for the stock 1 step colder plugs?

i have my NOS dry 55 shot gapped to .035
like plurco said gap to .034-.036 and make sure with all nitrous applications to use COPPER plugs.
ngk part # for years 95-2k1.... bkr6es-11 (one step colder, standard copper),,, bkr6e-11 (one step colder, V power tip)

what is the v power tip....and is it any better? so with a 50 or 60 shot and y pipe, b pipe, cat, muffler, udp, and intake, one step colder --copper plugs should be gapped to what?

change ur plugs right away, stock platinums are no good for car when spraying..and off hand i think stock gap is some where like .044

oh ok.... stock plugs are usually platinums.... just moniter ur air/feul or egt and make sure ur not running to lean. and ull be fine
and no problems? as far as running lean?....if you don't have gauges, you could alternatively look at the plugs to tell if you are running lean....i believe if memory serves, the plugs should look kinda blueish if your running lean...

In stock engine applications and street usage the spark plugs should be at least 2 steps colder than stock. Do not use platinum tip, extended tip or any plug with multiple ground straps or split ground straps. When in doubt about heat range always go one step colder. A spark plug that is to “Hot” will cause detonation, burned plugs, poor performance, and engine damage. In competition
engines always use the coldest plug available.

Thanks! I'll go grab some coppers.
Depends on who you talk to and various other variables I guess.
Personally I don't see any degredation. I ran a 14.6 N/A with my auto with 2 steps colder, gapped at .035.
Others say they see a big degredation so best advice I can give is to try it at the track and compare.
