2 step colder plugs
Friday, May 14, 2010 12:51 PM
Hey all, I have the 2 step colder plugs on my S/C 03 Eco.

My question is, what is the gap that everyone is running?

I hope you are meaning .032" and 2steps colder seems way to cold.... unless you have 500 HP
You want to run as hot of a plug that you can get away with... I ran copper champions to 400hp on the stock heat range without any problems...

Just going on the fact that everyone else that ran stock plugs was having sputtering issues. And sorry, I left out the 0. The world is ending now.

OK I'm not trying to start a pissing match with you... but .32 is nowhere close to .032.... and going too cold will just rob you of horsepower.... especially on the bottom end of the powerband... I would try 1 step colder then see if it still cuts out... just trying to help you optimize your performance

I know it's a huge difference, you'd have to be a complete idiot to gap your plugs .32 over on these cars :p

Everything I've read I've heard good things about the 2 step, so really, the dyno will tell. I'll have some numbers on the 23rd of the month.
