Default so when i was at bowman a while back...

i apparently did this




i need to check my plugs more often... after i ran that day i didn't drive the car much because i planned to put it under the knife. well i've been driving it to work everyday again and decided to check the plugs on a slow day at work and discovered that. it had to be sometime during that day because i haven't sprayed it since. so since april i have been driving on 7 cylinders hahahahah oops. but hey, i guess running what i ran down a cyl isn't bad.

you need to get a REAL "tune" from someone else if your melting plugs on the little nitrous your running.

Tune is fine, it's the limiter on a 250 shot that did it.

With stock untouched heads, no big cam, stock cubic inch, single nozzle? The 250 wasn't hitting hard because I was maxing it out.

if a 250 shot isnt hitting hard something isnt right or your not hitting a 250 shot. every car i have ever shot with anything close to that hit hard as hell. I have shot stock motors in cars and in trucks with that and they hit hard. what are you using a nozzle or plate, wet or dry. hell it shouldnt matter with a 250, it should still hit hard, the plates hit harder imo.
