Default What plugs/gap

For you guys running forced induction, what plugs and gap are you using? Any chance on blowing out the spark with 7lbs of boost? Just trying to weed out a slight stutter I have, because everything else looks good now. I am running what STS recommended but anything is possible. Thanks in advance!

TR6's at .035", but I am going to re-gap to .024", which is a big difference, but it will hopefully tell me if I have found the problem. Any hotter coil packs available? There is a trick to jumping voltage from the alternater, an old GN trick, but I don't want to get that drastic. Thanks for the replys!

the stock coils you have are bad *** and will support 20+psi. you can adjust the dwell a couple of ms with programing but i didn't have to do that till about 18psi.

Thanks for the info. I'll just re-gap and go from there.

Geezus, you run a heat range 6 plug at your power level? That's amazing... I run 7s on my small block and 9s in my big block.

no, i wasn't clear. for his power level 6's is what i would use. i used 6's as high as 15psi with no problems. above 15psi i run the 7's or whatever they call them. i have tried colder plugs than 7's but they didn't seem to do anything other than idle rougher. if i make a habbit of going over 20psi i will be going to something colder than 7's
