so does that mean the plugs are to hot or i am too lean?

kind of thinking about just not leaning on it so hard but that isn't an easy thing for me to do, especialy with that **** right there.

It means they can't remove enough heat from the cylinder, so you need to go colder. (colder is able to remove more heat from the jug.)

Very impressive Jim. Can't wait to see that truck hitting some single digits in the 1/4th mile. Do us all a favor and get some safety equipment though.

That's a bummer.

That's my biggiest fear... driving 1.5 hours to the track, and then breaking down at like 10:00 at night when all parts stores/dealers/etc are closed.

Think about it... if QMP is using 57 lb.'ers to make 775rwhp/865tq.


Hey, rob's running alcohol injection. That MIGHT be why he can make so much power on relatively small injectors.
