I would but its to much when you have DP's or at least in my opinion.

PaLaKaT · 09-24-2021, 11:40 AM

Got the plugs delivered today. Will put em on Sunday. NGK 97506 are they pregapped? Cant find my tool to check the gap.

pbonsalb · 09-24-2021, 01:05 PM

They are pregapped to 0.26 as I recall but if you need these plugs you probably need a gap more like 0.022.

This, take your time when doing plug gaps. I sit down with a feeler gauge making them all the same.

This was a pain in the a… type of job. But i got it done after 4 hours. Took me a while to gap to .022. Old plugs were all gapped different, some were gapped bigger and some less. Guess thats the wear and tear.

brad65ford · 09-26-2021, 07:11 AM

nice photo of the tip, you can see that wear at end same as mine were. Glad you did, it was surely time.

So impressed with this stage 2 tune especially being only on 93 shell pump gas. Only thing different in these runs are Diana inlet pipes and lower da/temp/humidity. The humidity imo helped as well as the inlets.

Could you pleaseeee post the log for your 0-60 when you did 2.75? I want to mess with custom shift points on xHp to acheive same shift points like you have since my car seems to shift later.

Also heres my new best for 60-130 from the other day.

AngryInch · 09-28-2021, 09:44 PM

Good runs sir!

Do you have a log of the 1/4 run?

Looks like we are right around the same performance for our stage 2.

Good 60-130 time. I want to run in your temps/DA lol. Do you have the 1/4 mile, 0-60 as well from that run?

Unfortunately I didn't log it. Only logged when I flashed for the first time with the stage 2 03 file so I felt no other need to log. Believe I've already shared that log with you, we looked at the 0-60 difference, before you changed your plugs. Did you re log and see if it smoothed out?

WOW thats moving!! What fuel do you use?

brad65ford · 09-29-2021, 10:15 AM

I'm pretty sure he's on 93. Temp and DA is low, have a feeling I'd run similar if I had similar weather. Amazing how much of a difference it makes.

Lol have to be patient for that cold, I've been running in 2500-1800 all summer. I don't get ambient or close to ambient unless I go out after 12am-6am. Daytime DA is still 1200. #DAhunter

Its 93 Octane, its a custom tune by HCP (from what i understand its the same guy who started BM3), its a little faster than OTS Maps. But right now im trying to address an issue with a tune, it seems to "knock" during Launches from Dig according to my logs, this is why i log the car a lot to make sure i don't constantly launch it when theres a knock. 0 knocks when you push the car while its rolling (go figure). I did bunch of 3rd gear pulls and logs look strong and good. I tried mixing Ethanol with 93 octane still theres a knock detected during LC or Break Boost off the dig. Im going back to stage 2 ots till thats figured out. I've replaced the spark plugs so it cant be that.. i tried different Gas, BP, Shell and Costco.

AngryInch · 09-29-2021, 08:59 PM

What is your timing when it knocks? Mine drops the timing to around 0 on LC then climbs up quickly to around 15 degrees.
