Re: Try using split fire plugs with superchaged applications (Red5)
They do make a difference until the tips round out and then they loose their advantage. Unfortunately the gains only last a few hundred miles.

Re: Try using split fire plugs with superchaged applications (Red5)
Any dyno gain? I was always under the impression (and still am) that splitfires are the biggest plug scam going. Maybe since your running boost there is some kind of gain. My perspective is........electricity always takes the shortest route to ground, that route is always a 1 way path, not a 4 way path as splitfires and Bosche +4's show.

The seat dyno reads about a 15-20 hp gain :eek: :lol:
So you are saying that this extra power is going to go away shortly :sad:
In defense of why these plugs are helping; I run rich. Its better than blowing engines all the time and these plugs burn through the richness.

Matt,
Are you running a CD type ignition box. With a MSD BTM or the 6AL and a set of AC Delco FR3LS6 plugs with the electrodes back cut, I don't seem to have any issue with plugs fouling even in a rich idle condition like those sometimes experienced with the supercharger.
