There are hundreds of LS1Tech members of whom would dissagree. It's apparent that you won't hop off of your & until you've had the last word. So, I'll leave this for those actually interested in obtaining information.

Don't fret; I don't pretend the infomation to be of my own. Some of us actually give credit to to those we learn from.



For the Archives:

Here's what works best in my car, mod's in signature. Stock coils, MSD wires,
WeaponX plugs gapped to 0.46", ground strap drilled (through) below the electrode.

This set-up allows 17-18:1 Air/fuel ratio during normal driving & 2* more in timing advance @ WOT. Further, Air/fuel during WOT can be increased from 12.5 to 12.9 w/ the 2* more advanced timing without producing engine pre-detonation. MPG under normal driving is an avg of 4 MPG greater. Idle is improved w/ increased part throttle power.

Total resistance before that "PESKY" air gap is as low as it can be. The electrode design is superior to most & the cornel size & burn rate is as good as I've found.

As many of you know, I have tried several set-ups & tunes as we have discussed & evaluated different products,...etc.. Prior to the above noted combination, it was the V-power NGK gapped w/ a drilled (through) ground strap below the electrode that had performed the best, but less than the gains noted above. Prior to the V-power NGK it was a standard copper plug w/ a dimpled electrode & a drilled ground strap below the electrode.

Have tried the combo's w/ MSD, Taylor, Accel & Magnecore wires. It's also, a great idea to ground both ends of both heads w/ braided ground wire. Have learned from LS1Tech, experienced drag racers, experienced road course racers, trial & error & theory. The combination of all sources has led me to the current set-up.

Was hesitant to bring up the WeaponX plugs because there is a sponsor doing some final testing prior to introducing them to the board. I have no affiliation w/ the sponsor or WeaponX.
