run colder plugs and less gap. to much gap on the plugs will cause the boost and spray to blow out the spark

ORIGINAL: stangpower96

think about what you just said
i did. and if your gap is around 60 thats to much. if youre gap is around 40 and thats to little. but if youre spraying and boosted then a plug gap around 35 to 40 is good

nice, i gapped them .50. they work good. i found this out b/c i tested them. the state tropper that pulled me over also agreed that they worked good two. and now i have a date with him in 1 month or i gotta pay a 280 dollar ticket. i guess 93 in a 65 doesnt fly well with them, old well. gotta love it. drive hard or go home. thanks everyone for your help... PEACE
