You can certainly reset the fuel trims and timing tables...regardless if it is tuned or not.

OP, if you want to try a colder plug just get plugs for a ZR1.

just a random thought

and the fuel trims would be reset, do you know what those are siriusdish

it seems like I have to change them out every 2-3 months, due to fouling.

anyone else?

doubt its your plugs. i agree with most others in here, you are running too rich.

You laid down some good numbers bud, I think you'll be good with replacing yours with stockers bud.

Plus your car is pretty damn fast lol.

Thanks man... I was thinking about giving the stock ZR1 plug just for the heck of it

Hopefully I get some side work going soon, ported intake and TB, 3" X pipe and a retune should do me good!

I need give you a better run next time.

haha i cant wait for Easter Sunday, thats the day ill be able to take my pig out, i just hope its nice out that day lol

im not too sure about a ported mani, it flows really well and can support lots of flow, id get a vmax tb since they cnc it and the throttle response is better. Id get a vararam or rotofab intake though. Im sure youll pick up some there, especially with the vararam when we hit byron or Rt66 this year lol I want to go to the sticky tracks and GLD wasnt my friend this last year lol

I used a set of iridium plugs in a turbo 4 cylinder world engine on 20psi for 3 years without changing them. I took them out every 6 months and regapped them. I finally replaced them when I felt guilty for not doing it, but not because I needed to. Coil per plug ignition and iridiums is pure win.

gap is now at .039, manual calls for .040.
It idles bad now (compared to normal) and surges off idle at low RPM in gear.

plug is AC Delco 12621258

it was tuned on torco.
changing the plugs makes it run 10 times better, but these plugs should last a lot longer than 3k miles.

having a good cameral makes a huge difference.

nighttowl · 03-15-2013, 09:25 PM

hmmmm.

I think this might be a problem...

litle88 · 03-15-2013, 10:19 PM
