Colder plug means slower?

zepherman · 07-15-2002, 02:56 AM

going from a regular plug to autolite 23's(colder) because ive heard its safer with the nitrous (im running a 125 shot) is this gong to hurt my times? Ive heard several people say it will be slower ans severa say no difference wht do you guys think? If slower, how much?

Thanks

It isn't really gonna slow you down that much, you'll notice maybe a bit less throttle response. The thing is they foul quickly on teh street during normal driving and that's what hurts you. I'm running a 125 shot with 24's and they're still pretty clean.

Zeph: U must be talking to the same guys who think hotter plugs mean higher performance.

You want to go as cold as you possibly can without fouling. THAT'S for performance....unless ya like the "pingety-ping-ping" sound.
