should i go 1 step colder plug?
 

here's my setup for those that don't know me...10psi, d16y7, tdo4L, 450cc inj/afc hack, msd btm @ 1/3 degree per 1lb of boost. almost 9000 boosted miles on these plugs.

showing my ignorance just a little when it comes to plugs, but i checked them last week and they looked pretty good. they looked as though i had been running a little rich (which i had known since i was using a techedge at the beginning of august), but the strap was a little whiteish like there was some leanness. i haven't heard any detonation at all and there was nothing that shook out of the plugs. additionally the porcelin insulator and electrode looked new still. i didn't check them after a hard pull and shut down...just normal driving...boosting and then normal driving into my neighborhood and garage.

from what i can see it looks like i can keep using these, but i was looking to go to 1 step colder to be on the safe side. i'm using zfr5f-11 right now which is stock. i was thinking of going to zfr6f-11.

should i even bother doing this? i'm assuming my afr will still stay the same...it will only safeguard against detonation, right? i'm still using stock ingnition...i still should have enough spark, right? i don't seem to have any stuttering problems and it's very linear in it's power delivery and strong, but will it help anyway to shorten the gap from stock?

if I as you I would just shorten the gap a little if your plugs look ok as they are. How long have you been turbo? Check them in a couple of weeks and see how they look then. If they look bad go 1 step colder. Either way 1 step colder wouldnt hurt any.

the have about 9000 boosted miles on them right now...i figure i'll change them this weekend when i'm doing my oil change too.

hey scttydb411... when you hooked up your btm... did you have to hook anything to the battery?
can you show me a godo diagram or something? all i ahve is shitty ones and they all contradict each other. i dunno which one to use... thanks :)
