I have 2 step colder plugs for the nitrous, but i always leave them for daily driving as well. I have been told that running 2step colder plugs n/a all the time puts more wear on the cylinders (how is this possible?). Is it better to put in stock temperature plugs for daily driving and change to 2steps before the track visits?

For what's is worth, I've been driving on 2-step-colder plugs for the last two years. Engine compression has not changed in the last engine, which has been in the car for about 11 months.

Since you live in a warm climate, the two-step-colder plugs should be no problem. Now if you lived where the temps drop to 30 degrees or lower, maybe you would have some minor issues. I didn't.

Remember, the plug design is to pull heat out of the center electrode, to the outer shell. If you have a spark, the cylinder will fire. No spark, no bang.

"Harry" or "Grandpa" works around home.......

Reading plugs is essential when you spray - or boost - and can save your engine. Looking back, I could have saved two engines if I knew then what I know now. Oh well.

Remember, you always "pay to play", so if you play hard, you will pay lots.

LOL me and jcy98maxse and I always say that, He's turbo'd and I drove his car tuesday, and while I had it something went bad, guess what it was, 2 collapsed plugs.

Still no camera, and I have to work the next three days, on top of that my grandma died so I have been busy with family stuff, so I think its gonna be awhile, also getting married in 2 weeks. HOLY SHI*!!!

Oh yeah, in the pic with your boy and car, I like your suspenders.

I'd like to see those plugs, too. Turbo cars scare me - too many things to go wrong. Congrats on the marriage! That will change your life forever.

I try and dress the part - it makes people misjudge you at the track, sometimes - especially the young guys. There's a lot of FOGs on the strips around here. By the way, that's my 7 year old grandson - the oldest of four.

Congratulations again - that's a brave woman!
