The biggest difference with the plug is how far the ceramic sits down in the well...the longer the ceramic, the hotter the plug and the less heat that's dissapated into the cylinder head and cooling jackets. Shorter ceramic moves the heat alot quicker to lower cylinder temps.
BTW, high 12 afr isn't that far off for 7psi...I like a nice 12.5 at that range, any richer into the 11 range and you start fouling plugs and misfiring regardless.

I don't think he was asking you, pretty sure whiterice knows how heat ranges work anyways.

right.
I was asking if you stuck with the same plug types. bkr or if you had zfr or race series, etc

changing heat ranges on the plugs can change AF ratios.

Try some NGK R5671A-9's and see what happens :)

B16, 11.5:1 compression, 150 wet shot with a stage 3 ported head........

SICK!

So you're saying that typically a colder range plug will tend to lean out afr's as compared to a hotter plug? That's one I can't really find an answer to.
