Also, the b series will get you about 30k miles normal use. R’s, since they are a racing plug, may not. I ck mine @ 10k and evaluate if I need to change them. I run the R’s as gapped from NGK. I do ck all of them to be certain.

Former ASE cert tech here, with a degree in auto/diesel systems. I know how that feels. Have not been a pro since I hurt my back decades ago so I don’t mind doing my own when the body says I can ;o)

Out of the box, b’s and r’s are .030 to .031

Omw home i did a run at about 90% throttle and 4th gear and i hit 19.8, i was scared cause its tune with my 3.2 sc pulley, well since then i did a lc32 front hybrid bracket and rerouted my belt to get 75% wrap like the new design maggies cause the old style was only 50% and i was getting slippage. I put the 2.9 sc pulley on before this run just to see what psi shes at now, originally she was at 14.5, thats a big increase.

Not unusual, some run .018!

4th gear pull will show you!

Mine is breathing pretty well, thus 13.5 PSI (everything ported, headers, catless)

PSI is more a measure of restriction, may want to look at reducing restriction in the future. She’ll have some power for sure!

Yep, my snout (ported to 90mm), blower, and heads are all ported.

Your’s looks like you’ve done what you can! I’m running a 2.45 and 9.17 combo. Could go 2.38 and 9.55 but that would be spinning the LSA setup hard.

You’re right, different setups.

I was informed to reduce restriction as much as possible to make my setup as efficient as possible (to help IAT2 temps)...

The only other thing im missing is a lc32 snount that makes them efficient up to 7k rpm which i dont plan on 7k rpm. 1200 bucks for a snout is deep. 90mm is a choke for me at my level now, when i go in for a retune i wouldn't be surprised if its 800 to 900whp on e85 and 750 to 775whp on 93

Anything lower than a 2.9 i believe is just hot air blowing, i would have had a triple pass heat exchanger coming but a week build i said hell with it send the dual and i bought twin 10inch fan kit
