Cut-back plugs on an LT engine?
Just wondering if anyone has cut-back their plugs on an LT engine, I see lots of people doing it for L98's. I have to swap out my plugs in a few days and figured it was obviously the best time to do it if it's worth it! Thanks!

Can someone explain the idea of the "cut-back" I'm assuming it mean to cut back the electrode on the plug to expose more of the spark? Ho much is cut back? Is this effective with stock ignition? What about timing?

(No one has proven that it does anything for combustion.)
