#17192, "Plugs?"


          

Just curious what kind of plugs all you turboed people running 5-8 psi were using. I was told today to use a hotter plug for turbo. I thought we were supposed to use cold plugs? Or how about regular plugs gapped smaller? Any input is appreciated as I am pretty confused now. Thanks!

Yeah, I was reading a post and it said BRK7e-11 or something like that..so that's what I'll probably go for? Now my other question is, what do you gap them to? .035 - .030?

bigger the gap, the more power you can create, but the more of a chance you have of having detonation, is that right? sounds good
