I'm with Kevin on this one. Sounds like a steaming pile they're trying to feed you. At least they're still trying to work it out.

I have a new set of plugs ( 1 degree cooler FRPP) coming today. I'm putting them in to see what happens.

Let us know how it goes.. If you remember, that was one of the first things I said, heat range on the plugs.

It's kind of funny Nick. I had the 0 degree plugs in and the car wouldn't run. I put my stock plugs back in and it ran great. So today I'm trying a different 0 degree plug. I've found other guys having troubles with autolite HT0s.

I do know that plugs from other manufactures even if the heat range is the same will not react the same under the exact condition. JDM engineering told me about that when I was looking into changing my plugs. In a boosted setup plug manufacture is as important as the heat range.

Good to know. UPS comes at around three. Maybe I can get the swap done before trick or treating. I'm getting pretty fast.

I'll bet you are. Oh and the gap is just as important as well. Don't quote me but I think the gap will get smaller in a boosted setup. Cause it can blow out at high RPM's. That's one thing I have not confirmed yet with JDM. I still have my new plugs sitting on my work bench.
