spark plug for stroker

okay so right now im using ac delco double platinum plugs. i think they are just the stock heat range or whatever. do i need to switch to a colder plug? will i have detonation problems with an 8.8 DCR and that plug? thanks

Re: spark plug for stroker

thanks for the links, im probably at close to that +75hp mark with this build. i guess until i get kick *** heads its the torque where my fun will be at. how long would my plugs last if i go to a NGK TR6 those are one heat range colder. assuming no burning plugs and crap like that. if i left the ac delcos in would they most likely burn up then under the higher hp?

Re: spark plug for stroker

I put basic AC Delco plugs in and I think they are fouling out bad... She stumbles and idles ruff and im starting to think I also broke one of my injectors from too much of a strain on it. They are 26lb's and with all the HP I have now, might be too much for it.

Re: spark plug for stroker

isnt fouling the result of too cold of a plug? i thought if i used the stock ones they would burn not foul? someone have some advice on here?

Re: spark plug for stroker and head bolts

another question on the head bolts. ive read a ton of forums on here about getting new ones but ive also found some new info that the stock head bolts on a 95 transam are not torque to yield, when i replaced the head gaskets i wasnt supposed to tty either. so why couldnt they be used again? i know this is not what a lot of people do but im trying hard to save some money. i just dont understand why they couldnt be reused if they arent tty?
