I did not have enough time to install my new plugs (from Rick at Amazon).

I installed the 2.95 with gatorback and Rick's tune. The car laid over a little in third past 4500 rpm's after it got hot (with stock plugs and gap). Is this spark blowout?

I plan to switch plugs this afternoon at .035 gap.

once you build more boost with a smaller pulley you need to go with a colder plug or the performance will suffer...

let us know if you still have issues after you install the regapped plugs..you can call,PM or email us

All is well.....

I installed the new plugs (TR6) at .035 and ran the car hard, no issues any more. The stock plugs even at 3600 miles seem to be worn down to pin-points gapped at about .05. I don't see how my car could have the stock plugs that worn out with so few miles.

They're not worn out. That's how they come from the factory.
