Need help with tune-up

Kamaro Killer · 11-20-2002, 03:44 PM

Ok, I just bought a 93 GT that has a powerdyne supercharger on it. It puts out 6 lbs. of boost. I need to do a complete tune-up and need someone to let me know which plugs to use. Thanks in advance, Keith.

Most people run autolight #24's for a NA car, and I believe you need colder plug for you application. I think maybe #23's or even #22's but those might be too cold for street use. I guess you'll have to wait and see what the SC guys are using.

my mom runs a autolite 23 in hers.

She has a 9lb powerdyne.

That's what I needed, I'm changing them this weekend to get my bottle of Crown Royal from (The Deuce) Mike. He want's to race against me at Carlsbad (local track) with his 97 GT, against my new 93 GT. He thinks because I havn't ever run at a track that he'll take me, lol. He bet me a bottle of Crown Royal. We'll see who's drunk on Sat. night, lol.

I'm sure that's the plug I need, but if anyone else is trying something that they think is better, let me know. Thanks, Keith

hold off racing mike for about 3 weeks. Then you can use my car against him

...I get to use Eric's car next!

Autolite 23's all the way... NGK makes a good plug too, either will do the job.

Eric4Nitrous · 11-21-2002, 10:46 AM

Ryan you know if i let you use my car then Kevin's gonna ask me to use it?? And we all know Kevin can't drive worth a **** and he's gonna wreck my car.lol j/k now if we can work out an agreement where you won't tell kevin about it, then i'll let you use it. But i need a $10,000 deposit

The Deuce · 11-21-2002, 12:51 PM

I see how this is gonna go down. Did you think I wouldn't see this thread?

I'm gonna rip you a new one, thank you very much. *erupts in evil laugh*

Lets just say it'll be a full Saturday morning for me.

not if we put spikes in front of your front tires at the starting line

Why you gotta be helping him. I'm the one trying to beat him with a 15 second car!

Kamaro Killer · 11-21-2002, 01:27 PM

this should be fun, lol. I've been practicing launching, I'm getting used to my clutch now. No more hesitation, I can just open her up now. Maybe it'll be you Mike that needs the spike strips. Actually I was hoping you'd see this thread, YOU AND THE TURD ARE GOING DOWN, lol! Later, Keith

Dont forget to gap your plugs to a smaller gap too

I run .035 on my autolite 23's
