Once i've done that yeah im up for it and i know theres more people from FM coming down next week too. But yeah had a run with a VU SS 5.7L and that was pretty even :)

from memory, white plugs are caused by too much heat. not 100% sure though, but my old one were like that when i took them out 5000k ago. dunno how old they were. going to service it again in a few weeks.

Yeah those XR6 plugs are pretty cold. Freezing actually.

This one time, my freezer shat itself, so I put an XR6 plug in it and it froze everything, like, instantly... :lol:

No offence, but considering the mods you list, is that not a touch on the crapola side...

i tend to agree here.

with the 75 shot, even if it only make as little as 50 real world HP
your KPH shold be closer to 160kmh.

when did you turn the gas on??
