spark plug heat range N20 ?
OK I have looked at different spark plugs for my 09 v6 I was planing on running n20 a zex kit. Anyway I looked at NGK and noticed the local stores sell the heat range of 5 while american muscle and a few others sell heat range 6. this being in NGK now in autolight they sell heat range 3 and 4 so go figure. those of you spraying N20 what heat range and plug type are you using.

When I was running nitrous I used the stock plugs. The V6 already runs a cold plug and my tuner (Lidio) said it wasn't necessary to change them on the V6. After over a year, about 35,000 miles and a LOT of track passes on the nitrous I pulled the plugs when I put the Xcharger on the car. They looked like new still so I guess Lidio was right - and when we tuned it the car was putting 270 rwhp and almost 280 torque as I recall on a 75 shot Zex kit.

Sounds good Jeff - I actually picked up much better times as the season went on with the nitrous to a best of 13.60 but didn't get video of it so couldn't get that to Shaftmasters.
I've been to Milan a couple of times. Good track, but it is always so crowded that getting three passes in can be tough if you can't hang around from noon to 10 p.m. I usually go to either Lapeer or Ubly now, sometimes to Mid Michigan.
We will be back at Thompson for the Buckeye Brawl IV in May - it is a club event for the Mustang Collective.

last time I was at Milan they still had gravel pits been told they upgraded lol I have not been there since 1993 I grew up in perrysberg off route 25 in ohio just south of maumee and toledo. we used to go up to Milan and norwalk when I was in high school. I got my second mustang in 95 when I was in the service. I took the chevelle to norwalk in 07 and to thompson in 08. last time I was at Thompson was in july 09. just before I moved but I was there with a rival car club watching them run there cars. Got several friends in several clubs that run there. My cars where the 2 fastest in my club so they where not happy I was moving when the event was going on, that and the fact I sold one car to the rival club I was there with in july lol. I know Lapeer has a track but never been to it. I lived in MI in the mid 80's in Kingston near Cairo. My dad owned a ranch up there and custody stuff brought me up there. I was into 4X4's way back then.

Interesting that Lidio recommended a colder plug for your car - I assume you are talking about the 2007 V6 in your sig. I had the 75 shot on mine but he said no problem and to just keep the stock set because they run colder.
