what sparkplugs are you using?

I am running stock ac delco plugs. R42TS

I have them gapped smaller around .025 I think.

I am running AC Delco Rapidfires, stock gap and rating though.

Same here, but I believe Im gapped at .040 or .035- I have an upgraded ignition though.

But you have zero experience actually running the engine with boost.

Nope. Haven't had to. Plugs aren't overheating? at all. They look just fine. No pinging, no detonation. Its all in the tune homie.

I just noticed this, I have an upgraded ignition too. Crane Hi6 s with coil and MSD low ohm 8.8mm wires. I had to lower the gap because the turbo pumps a lot of air into the cylinder, more then your old ihi, plus I was running nitrous too so it takes cylinder pressures to a whole new level.

Stock ignition blows, and the aftermarket box does make a difference but you can only shine a turd so much. I am on the verge of having to lower the gap again. If my bottle pressure is over 1k psi, it misfires from the spark blowing out, if under 1k psi it runs good.
