Hey easterisland you have traction bars twice in your sig........stop trying to make it look like your L has a lot into it

Easterisland,

You forgot to tell us what plug your using in your sig.

 

Well, I have two sets of traction bars. One on the truck and one in the back of the shop. I erased the plugs because I'm not sure what I'm going to use.

 

You also forgot what POLISH you use?

HEH HEH HEH ...

 

I bought this stuff almost a year ago. I still haven't used it on the Lightning yet, but plan on it.

 

I am using the Iridum Denso IT22 plugs and they are great (can get them at a good price Tommylightning@extremesvt.com


What head gaskets did you go with? Think at the end of the season the motor will come out again and will lock-wire the heads.

 

Stock head gaskets. Actually the engine is at the machine shop right now. The guy that ported the heads sent them to the wrong address which has delayed things a bit. Should be done by the end of the week. Fingers crossed. I'll probably use the BR7ef's.

 

I was using the BR7EFs and thought they were great. They are a cold plug and misfired at idle. The Denso plugs are the way to go. I was not a beliver until I used them.

 

Well said man....

More are seeing the light....

 

As do I .....

 

I've seen the light.....as far as plugs go
