(from your local know it all) whoever said head lift doesnt know there ass from a hole in the ground cause ur set up wont do it. and plugs as long as there the right heat range and are fairly new arent gonna make a huge difference on horsepower are anything like that, cause if your tuner was running wot passes and it wasnt missing out are anything like that (im betting) and if it was i would be looking for a new tuner i def wouldnt run a dyno wit shot plugs are anything for that matter that is going to compromise my runs are my expensive ass motor. do it right r dont do it at all. i dont mean to sound like and ass but dont waste the money on it if later you go (man that $80 in plugs prob would of made the difference. ya know

I have one. 3900LBS with driver. lol!

I figure you'll run a 13.6-13.8E.T in N/A form and about a 12.6-12.8 on the spray.

I ran 13.60E.T in N/A trim and that was on 7 cylinders! LOL! The B!TCHH had a 12.9E.T in her if I would of been firing on all 8 cylinders. Hoping to hit a mid to low 12 in N/A trim when mine is put back together.

wasnt really talkin trash. im jus sayin it only happens on highly boosted engines. And sparkplugs in this case if your truck was running good (which i know it was). isnt gonna make any hp. umm never said anywhere LIGHT F150. jus said its a big truck. like ya know not an s-10. and yeah ur right ur truck will break 12s but even spraying of the start isnt gonna make the world go round your motor has to build inertia (crankshaft) to get goin so i mean it will help (spraying) but not as much as a high hp,tq na motor would off the line. ur off to a good start but another thing imo i would have kept the stock heads they flow very well for stock, and went after a turbo r something. and with the build im betting na on the dyno ur at around 300 hp??? and last neal just cause ur ring was broke in #5 cyl doesnt mean it wasnt working unless u took the sparkplug out. which we all know the answer to that, a broken ring doesnt always mean lesser powered cyl, happened in my car and it still had 150psi in that cylinder. all in all nice trucks guys dont take it to personal. jus came across a lil strong i guess

ok so what yer saying is that the 3-4 seconds im in first gear without an xtra 125 hp (nitrous) wont make a big difference when im able to use it with slicks,thats funny..also heads $1300...turbo 4-6k...little price difference their when u have a house and a budget..also when i took it to the dyno it was running good.. ha...it was very lean and i mean really lean/ the tuner had to make huge fuel adjustments and the timing was only at 10* instead of 22*..so it definitely wasnt running good..

hey guys i took all the plugs out and compression tested every cylinder and they all had between 140-150....also one of the plugs bosch platinum 4's with the 4 tips were all welded to the electrode...i put all new NGK TR6's, also the last coil on the pass side smelt like antifreeze so im thinking its dripping from the heater core.. whattya think

not the core itself, the lines to it.

I'm wondering the same thing

I'm glad nothing broke, I think using the wrong plugs in there cost you bit of power (too high of heat range) the TR6's should help but may need to go another range colder
