Yeah i know.
I will make up my mind when I am at that point this summer financially... whether to go F.I. or go with the rest of the top end parts. Hell... I could do both lol.

I was going to go with the HT1 plugs since they are stock heat but I was told by blowbyracing and HPP that there is no reason to not go with the HT0's even though they are one level colder because of the fact that they gap the F.I. cars and the NA's they just don't gap. Heck a hundred dollars down the road saving on not having to switch plugs again if I go F.I. is a hundred dollars saved right?

thats no problem with the spark plugs. I ran those as well right now without the blower during the winter and it runs fine.

Which ever supercharger kit you choose, it'll open your eyes to FI that's for sure lol

Its always a gamble with boost, but it sure is fun when it kicks in!

Yup Yup... and I've already got a good clutch too!
BlowbyRacing has people running around 500trq to the wheels with the clutch I have in now.

Even though they are said for 425trq from Exedy I was assured
by them they would run WELL over that.

Ive got some good supporting mods, you are right.

rofl kinda..

kinda envious actually..

you already have a an awesome supporting mods list, if you were to go FI, you'd be a step above most FI set ups with little or no mods.

It may be a Marketing ploy among supercharger companies claiming "450whp on an other-wise stock GT, but it only goes to show you how much power can actually be made on our motors without a ton of boost.


I was skeptical as well with the "150hp bolt on" claims, but it's really no joke..

I talked to multiple people that said they ran the HT0's with no prob in their NA engines.
Like I said I also talked to two shops.
Blowbyracing and HPP Racing.

But I ran into one guy that said his car skipped at the top end
with them and he replaced them with the HT1's and the problem went away.

I just don't understand how it could cause your car to skip unless it was actually a BAD plug?
Could it?

I already replaced them so I hope I didn't screw up again. I actually CANT run it at top end right now because my clutch is not finished with the break in period yet.

Perhaps he was experiencing some spark blow-out.

Dunno.
I have news though.
I put the HT0's in and my car is also not reacting well to them.
Maybe some NA ones really don't like the colder plug.
I'm yanking them today and putting in the HT1's.
