Couldn't ask for anything better than that, and since my idle's
been schitty for months, AND STARTED OUT BAD YESTERDAY BEFORE RACING, I surely can't blame it on Racing or Nitrous.

I'm surly impressed with them after all this time and abuse,
so impressed, that I put Denso IT-22's back in.

Ok so everyone is wondering why only 7 plugs ???
That rear Drivers Side is just impossible unless I remove my entire Nitrous System @&*$%(@$%()@$%)@%@$.
This is my 3rd time doing this $%)@#$%_@$%)@$%)$
and the Pass side was actually quite easy, no complaints,
I'm good with that side. Now the drivers side is another thing,
@%$)@$%)@$%()@$%)@$%)@$ First 3 are MF, but #4
has me totally stumped, as said my third time, and I truly see
no poss way I'm getting in there without removing A LOT of stuff.
_@^$_)@$^_@$+@&$@_$)@$%)@$

Of course the first 6 plugs I removed were perfect and it was that
3rd back on the drivers side that I finally found the bad one,
When I first took it out I was holding it down and it looked fine,
then as I went for the table I saw the porc move.
Tricky tricky tricky....

For the record I do EVERYTHING against the grain

I use Never Seize,
even know everone says DON'T

I tighten the ever living schitt out of them,
even know everyone says don't

and NOT ONE was lose after all this time, all came out nice and easy, and I used Never Seize for the 3rd time now putting them back in, with my usual TIGHT AS POSSIBLE routine

WHEN SOMETHING WORKS, DON'T MESS WITH IT I ALWAYS SAY...


NOW WHO'S COMING OVER AND DOING THAT LAST ONE ???

actually it got too dark to even consider it, and since it's running perfect NOW and bad to normal, (and the other plugs looked perfect), I'll get to it when I can "and at least can drive my Baby in the mean time"

Don't ever leave your plugs in that long, especially if you are spraying

Hopefully Gator will come down too! I've been waiting for this shootout! p.s. don't wait for the light to turn green!LOL!
By the way, I'm bringing a guy from work that was injured and he is going to take pictures (if the doctor clears him, don't think it will be a problem) and I promise he'll get one of your burnouts! Planning on bringing a 4 wheeler down so he doesn't have to walk, lost his big toe!

my truck started missing, so i pulled my denso it22's. they looked fine, but i'm on expert. i replaced them , and it still missed. luckly a friend had an extra coilpack from an expedition, so i played "musical chairs" with the coilpacks until i found the bad one. now i have an extra set of plugs. just thought i'd share that, it really sucked.

Let me tell you Wes,
when I pulled the Pass side plugs and found them all PERFECT,
and then the first two on the Drivers side too,
I REALLY started wondering if I missed something else, and
it wasn't the Plugs.

NO ONE EVER WANTS TO DO THIS FOR SCHITT AND GIGGLES
TG for me it was #7 (I stopped right there AMOF)

Sorry to hear you did it for nothing, BUMMER.....

Rob,
You know that you want a mid 11 second run before the year is over. How could you stand the wait until next Spring?

Make sure that you get that last plug out as it only takes one to make a loss of power under the strain of nitrous and boost.

Never ever had probs with #8 before,
came out NO PROB, plug is quite easy to get in and out,
That took 10 minutes, it was getting the Coil Bolt out and then back in (sob cross threaded and dead ended AND THE FUN BEGAN) 2 hours later, I finally hand threaded it all the way down,
and snuged it up )&%@$(@%$(@%$(@%$(@$%(@$(@#$^(*@^#$($%(@#$(&%$@(%@ $(%@$(@%$(%@$($%()@%$(@$%(@$%(@%$(@$%(@%$(@$()@&%$ (@$%)(@$%)@$%(@%$(@$(@$$)@$$(@%$(@%$(@%$(@$%(@$(@# $^(*@^#$($%(@#$(&%$@(%@$(%@$(@%$(%@$($%()@%$(@$%(@ $%(@%$(@$%(@%$(@$()@&%$(@$%)(@$%)@$%(@%$(@$(@$$)@$

I went w/ TR6s and let the Denso go away. I have had 2 sets of Denso plugs. To each his own. At 8k I replace my plugs like oil.

Looks like I am going to have to host a spark plug change seminar, and the first person who has to sign up is Mr. Rob0 Hey I even have Jamie(FoMoCoFan) pretty good at changing plugs these days. Rob you should be able to change plugs between rounds when you are at the track. I did two sets between rounds at a FFW event this year.

Hey I have a idea, I will change your plugs and I will let you wash and wax my truck, hehe.

Don the Pass side is a breeze,
the First 2 on the Drivers side too, it's those DAM back two
"COILS" that keep getting me @$)@$%)@$%@()$%$

If it wasn't for the coils, I could prob do it in no time at all.
I DEF would like to see the trick to taken those two out,
especially.

Schitt, I'd wax your Beast in exchange for a plug job any time,
HEY WAIT THAT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT

hehehehehehehe..............
