Indexing spark plugs... any gains?
« on: April 25, 2009, 06:19:09 PM »
So if I indexed my plugs so that the electrodes all point the same direction, will any horsepower or rideability be gained?

Much like other spark plug mods, my understanding is that this won't help much on a stock motor, but on a racer where every little bit helps it's a good thing.

+1    Back in the day when I was campaigning a Superstock Mustang and was looking for every .001 in the quarter mile, we tried it, but I think that you will be hard pressed to feel any difference on a stock engine.

 You are talking about a 22 or 23 cc chamber....nothing will happen.
