fouling plugs

Post by its840 »

2000 gp gtx
ram air hood, 3.4, 3" downpipe, 3" exhaust, tune, msd coils.
i keep putting ngk tr55 plugs in there and right about every 6k miles i keep getting
a miss under hard accel.. so i replace the plugs and all is fine.. well for another 6K

would switching to a colder plug help any??
or trying the iraduim plugs improve anything?

its not hard to change the plugs.. but they shouldnt be fouling out this soon..

thanks for the help!

You should be running Autolite 104's or NGK TR6's. TR55's are too hot.

would running a platinum or iradium plug provide any benefit?

Platinums are a HUGE no-no's on supercharged engines. Iridium's just last longer, theoretically.
