MBC & diode ... should I regap plugs?
 
I have bumped my boost up to 20 & wonder if I would benefit from gapping the plugs.

What do you think?
Thanks,
Eric

yes, regap them.

jojoenglish85 10-12-2008 02:37 PM

what type of plugs and gap do you have now?

I've got the stock plugs and an apr 93 chip. Should I regap them? And at what spec? Will it run any differently after they are gapped?

from my experience, 180's seem to be fine with just a chip/diode on stock heat range plugs but still need gapped down to .028. With more bolt ons, i would go colder

With a 225 i would go one heat range colder with a chip/diode (7) and down to .028.

so with a chip, what plugs should i buy? and will it run any differently with colder regapped plugs?

I already answered that in the post above yours. One heat range colder than stock and .028

no, I'm asking about a recomendation for a specific brand/part#
And the 2nd part of my question is, will it run any differently/better?

A list of plugs is in the FAQ. Most people (me included) just run NGK BKR's since they are < $2/plug and work well.

As for heat range, you have less of a chance for them fouling up on a chipped 225 if you go one colder. I wouldnt run stock heat range on anything nonstock but a chipped only 180
