getting uberdata, still need colder plugs?
 

hi, if i'm getting uberdata and i already retard my timing do i still need to get colder plugs? right now i have the ngk iridiums zfr5fix-11 for a d16z6 it works great but i haven't boosted yet......should in about a week when i get my hf adapter and my oil lines, thanks!

If you are using uberdata, set your static timing back to stock. Let the program do it's job. ;) And, yes, it is a good idea to run colder plugs regardless of what tuning method you use. You are introducing higher combustion chamber temps.

I am using the stock plugs at the stock gap setting in my car. I just pulled them after about 500 miles and they are blacker than sanford and son, so I am running a little rich. They seem to be working fine though, but I might try 1 step colder plugs anyways for shits and giggles.

Just use the regular NGK v-power plugs that are 2-3 bucks. Then pick what heat range and gap you want.
