Napa carries them. And all boat shops should have them in stock. They run them in some outboard motors.

Do a search. You'll find lots of different answers, most of which are valid for various reasons. But first, let me give you a hint: find out what the part number actually means.


BTW, before you post, try searching. I'm beginning to see a trend in your postings. Also, nobody goes by "corrected times" - that's bench racing.

i just corrected them because every track is different, its like a mediator. just like the san antonio track is slower than the dallas track... lfr6a-11 heat range is 6 meaning that it is one step colder than the stock range of 5. btw i have to update those numbers thanks for reminding me...

Still, nobody goes by "corrected" numbers ever. BTW, I didn't know the SA track was slower. I know they're closer to sea level than ours, though. The one at Ennis isn't a fast track, neither. If you've ever been there, you'd know. The one at Baytown is the fastest drag strip in TX so far.

As for your interpretation of the spark plug part number, you're only partially correct. Find out what -11 is for and you'll find your answer. Also, I may be wrong, but the stickied thread should also contain some information about spark plug gaps, I believe.

That sounds good. Was searching for yourself so hard?


Interestingly, your question caused me to look up some stuff on spark plug gaps.

I don't recall ever reading this bit of information, so I'll post it in the stickied thread.

the -11 means the gap is at .044" from the factory. if you search on here tho most people running nitrous tend to go between .035 and .038 as he said so your point doesn't really make sense in this case.

Fail.

I know what -11 means. You can technically use the stock gap without problems. However, with bigger shots, it's generally recommended that you reduce the gap. Again, with bigger shots, it's just recommended that you reduce gap (for safety reasons).

And I've been on here long enough, so no need to tell me to search. Maybe you should try reading and understanding what's actually going on and why I chose to post that way. BTW, if you searched on here, you'd see that I help people with nitrous more than anybody else. The reason for that post was that the STICKIED thread had the info he was looking for, yet he chose to ignore it and make his own thread. I don't spoonfeed people answers.

http://www.spark-plugs.co.uk/pages/t...ymbol_code.htm fail huh?? that shows pretty clearly what -11 means. and its pretty commonly accepted that you should reduce the gap at ~100 shot which is right around where he was asking. I wasn't trying to start an argument, just pointing out that knowing what the -11 means in this case doesn't really help him

You telling me to search was fail. I literally know what is posted and what isn't in the nitrous forum, trust me. Again, maybe if you took the time to search, then you'd see that I (along with a lot of other members) already posted what gaps they're using and I even posted why the gap should be reduced. Had he searched from the get go, then none of my posts telling him to search would exist. In addition, once he found that info, then I would have posted a recommendation post telling him to reduce the gap.
