Rounded center electrode and ground strap FTL. Plus, there's no way he wants to run that car on a 6.

NGK R5671A-7, #4091, will do you fine at $1.80/per.

exactly 0 the past 3 weeks

the 70 year old man i bought the car off of hasn't come through with the title. i don't particularly like driving a car with 2.5" open exhaust around with a september 07 inspection sticker and the wrong tags. plus school is kickin my ass right now, and i haven't had time to mess with it.

the tune is pretty much ----, and i know it. WOT isn't bad, and neither is idle, but inbetween the afrs are all over the place. i don't know enough about tuning to do any good right now. I just haven't had time to do the reading i need to. like i have no clue what the afr should be at part throttle and ----. i don't even know how to tune for spark knock, other than to listen for it.

and this, i don't know the reasoning behind going with a 7 heat range. ngk's website said 1 colder for each mod, adding a 14b = 1 mod, or so i thought. maybe the 7 is just a little insurance against detonation. care to elaborate JD?

---- that heat range per mod bullshit, makes about as much sense as buying "stage" performance parts. You pick your heat range based on what plug the engine wants.

Once again, old tech. But 17,000rpms is FTW. O0



----, buick invented variable valve timing in the 1920's. Now damn near every mid-high end car on the market has it. fuk ur vtak. :P



I've always thought that be the way to go, but i seen something that should be the future, the cams and valves were integrated into one unit. They are balls with ports in them that spun like a cam. No parts to change direction, so very high rpms are capable.
