There is also no reason to run colder plugs. You only need to start running colder plugs when you get into the 200+hp range. If it makes you feel safer, only run 1 heat range colder, and NEVER use platinum. The heat range of the plug will not make the car run stronger, or worse. It will keep the plug clean, and disipate the heat at the rate the plug needs. Too hot a plug could start to glow, thus causing detonation. This is hard to do on a stock motor and 150 shot of nitrous. I run 13:1 350 and with a 300 shot only run a 2 heat range cold plug. There is a way to read plugs that will tell you if the heat range is correct, but I dont know if you want to get into all that. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>shade-tree</b> <br /><small>Member # 298</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,3,9,26,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> you're shitting me? leaving timing at 14 BTDC with a 150 shot from an NX kit with stock plugs?

Do you know? And what is the total timing on your motor? I could care less what the initial timing is. I can tell you that I have run many 351 windsors, and 350 chevys at a 200 shot, with no timing retard. I wouldnt do it with an NOS kit, for reasons I just wont get into right now. Second, doesnt your cars have a knock sensor, that if detecting detonation will retard the timing? If you honestly think that a Ford engine is any different then a Chevy, tuning nitrous wise, then you need to find a different power adder. It doesnt matter who makes the motor, as long as you know what to look for when tuning nitrous. Nitrous will work on a chevy, ford, honda, MOPAR, or even a motorcycle, and it will work the same. Do you know the reason for retarding timing? What does it do? And dont say prevents detonation, cause if you dont know what retarding the timing does, then you shouldnt be playing this game. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>shade-tree</b> <br /><small>Member # 298</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,10,3,18,48,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> lol, I don't want to argue on teh interNAt at you.
