Mail tunes aren't canned tunes you know, right? You data log and then if you use hp tuner you can play with it yourself.

Just saying.

I'm still using stock plugs on mine. When should they be changed though. I guess I never really thought about it because my car has been running so good.

When you use Nitrous (depending on the size of the shot), higher compression (depending on the compression) and boost (depending on the boost)

But if your just cammed then I really don't see needing to go to a colder plug.

I would think that stock heat range plugs wouldn't be a huge deal, but I wonder if your car is tuned for 91 and not that Torco you might be running slower because of the octane. I've already proved with my own car that running Torco with stock timing made my car a tenth slower at the track, just my own experience.

gurantee you its a tune, shit gas or other something wrong. just pulled my number 1 plug and its clean as a whistle and completly dry. and i road course my car....and hard

i can escort you to CMS if you meet me at 15 and 91. Cunningham website in my signature here is phone number 951-667-0716 if they dont answer its because he is properly dyno tuning another great car. best bet to email or stop by. Mike is THE best ls tech in socal and Ryne is proven time and time again and is constantly fixing other shops tunes.
