Post My L idles a little rough.


Just wanting to know if I'm expecting too much from a high performance motor. I get a little bid of a bobble or bounce at idle, feels like possibly a slight miss.
Is this normal or should it be smooth as silk.
Also why do NGK plugs cost $13.00 each.

I paid $1.99 each.

The NGK plugs took care of my miss.

Tampa, can you tell me where you bought your ngk's. Also what was going wrong with the stock plugs that made your motor miss?
Thanks

XCheyennesuper:

I got them at the local speed shop(Automotive Engineering). $16.00 for the set of eight(8). Make sure you get the NGK TR6 4177's.

I changed out the plugs for two reasons.
1. The miss at cruise speeds.
2. NITROUS!!!
