Good to know correction is minor. Whatever I hear is gone with the factory tune. It appears under 3k and moderate throttle typically.

In our tune, that lightly loaded area is going to be the stock borderline spark table and cylinder pressure limit no need to modify those areas tuning wise.

They are consumate professionals, you can tell by the responses and the level of detail.

One question though, should I submit a datalog once I have the NGK sparkplugs installed? Much appreciated.

I'll give you my unprofessional response.

If he did not see knock related to your factory plugs heating up to the point where they caused knock, then the colder plugs would not show an improvement and no adjustment needed. The cold plugs are a great insurance policy however and I would absolutely install them.

Wasn't my post, I've never had a knock and always use 93 octane.

I’ve been back and forth on the plugs.

And while I understand Adam saying sport isn’t meant for daily. It sure is fun lol.

I think most people can get away without plugs because most don't stay on throttle long enough. For that smaller percentage that might stay on throttle for longer periods of time a colder plug would be important.

That makes sense. I’ve run into 135 and she just keeps climbing.
