Spay on stock plugs???? good.... bad???

Well I think I'm going to get my kit installed befor the last track day befor winter here, but I wont have time to do my plugs or wires,
Will it still be safe to spray a 150 shot NX? this will be one night, maybe the bottle, and then it will be new plugs shortly there after.

can I do it or no?

For a 150 wet shot, just buy some Autolite 104's and gap them at .035 to .039

I would change them now.

Then when you do headers, you can examine them and see how they have held up.

No one here is going to tell you it is okay to run a platinum plug with a stock gap with a 150 wet shot.

good point, what about a 75 or 100 shot even?

air temp should be cool too cold, ~50F if that makes a difference.


I'm going to try my damndest to change the plugs, but from what people have said it is a real pain in the *** with the stock manifolds.

with the stock manifold changing the plugs is a lot easier than having shorties or longtubes in there.....change em before you spray. dont matter if you spray 50 or 400 shot, platinum plugs + nitous =
