Bad idea going with platinum plugs its very bad with nitrous. Use only copper spark plugs (BKR6E-11) and for $1.99 its not a bad price from discount auto

OK, So everyone agrees on dumping the bosch platinum plugs, Now ngk is what I normally run. The only reason I took those out is due to the fact that Zex states that the one long ground electrode is not the best way to go with nitrous, cause nitrous burns hotter. The longer ground electrode will dissipate heat much slower. Which in turn makes it more like a glow plug. And that leads to detonation. Now the Bosch platinum +4's have 4 short ground electrodes which dissipate heat faster, helping avoid the glow plug effect. So everyone is telling me to throw out the window what Zex says will make safer and put back in what they don't recommend?

Thanks Man, I checked out their Web Site. And They had this.....................

Heat Range selection

Let's make this really simple: when you need your engine to run a little cooler, run a colder plug. When you need your engine to run a little hotter, run a hotter spark plug. However, NGK strongly cautions people that going to a hotter spark plug can sometimes mask a serious symptom of another problem that can lead to engine damage. Be very careful with heat ranges. Seek professional guidance if you are unsure.

With modified engines (those engines that have increased their compression) more heat is a by-product of the added power that normally comes with increased compression. In short, select one heat range colder for every 75-100 hp you add, or when you significantly raise compression. Also remember to retard the timing a little and to increase fuel enrichment and octane. These tips are critical when adding forced induction (turbos, superchargers or nitrous kits), and failure to address ALL of these areas will virtually guarantee engine damage.

An engine that has poor oil control can sometimes mask the symptom temporarily by running a slightly hotter spark plug. While this is a "Band-Aid" approach, it is one of the only examples of when and why one would select a hotter spark plug.

So, I guess I'm safe for now....... I just need to tighten up a little on the fuel system for safety. I've been looking for a reason to buy a S-AFC and aftermarket FPR anyway. Thanks for the input people!

Oh yea, Would I be able to use a V-AFC on a non-vtec engine. The reason I ask is I'm also in the process of building a LS v-tec with an extra engine I have laying around. I really don't want to buy a S-AFC and then bolt in the LS v-tec and turn around and buy a V-AFC for that engine. So would I be able to hook up a V-AFC on my engine I running now just to use it for the fuel adjustments? Then wire it to the vtec after I have that installed? But that's not for a couple of months from now. Cause I have to use My money not Mom or Dad's like some of us out there. Not that I ragging on the Momma's Boy's out there, cause I would do the same for my Son.

Thank's
