Okay spark plug q's :p

Okay I am storing my camaro tomorrow since I keep spending money on it :P....I plan on tunning the car tomorrow to since my Wideband is goving me like a 10.9:1 AFR. The car is tunned for a 100Shot curently.

Now I plan on changing the fuel filter, plugs and seafoaming to find an exhaust leak.

I bought some champion platinum plugs today But i think i am gonna return them and go with a different plug. Bc I will most likley be running the bottle next year and will need some nice copper plugs.

I am not spending 10 bucks a plug either...

The motor is from a 95 Z28...I am basically limited to AC delco, champion bosch etc at canadian tire. Unless napa carrys a nice plug.

What plug should I go with Im am stayin N/A for tomorrows tune but will be spraying next year.

Also what gap?

Jay

The consensus uses NKG TR55's.

I would use a TR5IX or TR55IX (ix means iradium) The only difference is the plug gap.
TR5'S are gapped at .050" TR55'S are at .055" Stock gap is .050"
I gapped mine at .045". My car runs the best with that gap.
You can pick them up at Napa or Walmart depending where you live. The Walmart in Oakville, ON has alot of stuff
I paid $55.00 US.
The best part about them is that they are safe for nitrous and they are a more efficient plug. They require less voltage to make a good spark.

Recommend running the TR55, Had the guys at Speed freaks put them in with a .045 gap. Car runs better then it with stock plugs.

If you plan to keep those plugs in while spraying, I'd look at the NGK TR6 or the AutoLite 104. And gap them to 0.035" for nitrous.
