Not much info on your motor. But run as hot a plug as you can. Many racers make the mistake of running to cold of a plug.

I run -7's on alky, -8's on gas. (NGK heat ranges - Lower # = hotter plug). Dan "Jim" Moore Much too young to feel this damn old!! | |||

I understand. I agreed "run as a hot a plug as you can". Did I read that wrong? Misinterpret what I agreed to? I'd be interested in seeing a better looking plug. ![]() https://youtu.be/FZ6zwnyDwUg http://ottm.store https://youtu.be/I8QWEaqeFRw 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008 Super Pro Champion Sunshine Dragstrip, Clearwater Florida | |||

7's up to around 14 to 14.5 to one, 8's if you run more compression. ![]() Mark Whitener RFD Heads FTI Converter Fab Shop Headers Home built 2 circuit Dominator :-) www.racingfuelsystems.com ____________ Good work isn't cheap and cheap work can't be good. | |||

What NGK plug would you guess Brodix recommends 14.5:1 Track 1 23 sbc, if you had to guess? This plug literally has twelve wide open laps on it, with a few small adjustments to the carb in between.

Same for Brodix T-1, they're a lot alike. I'll tell ya who does nice port work on those is Weingartner in Oaklahoma. He did a set of DS for a guy I know with a early 70's Camaro small tire Super Pro bracket car with, I thinks it's a 406. So it's a fairly heavy car, and it rides out pretty good, I think it has dipped in the 6 teens, low 20's for sure. Same for port work on my old 215's and they flowed as good as my T1 233. The Dragon Slayer heads work great with a little work if you hadn't done anything with them yet, dude does good work reasonably priced. He does a lot of DS heads.This message has been edited.

Eric did my first set of Dragon Slayers that were 235 back in late 2015. My second set in 2019 were 242. He also did the Eddy SV II 2892 intakes for both sets as well. Very nice. | |||

Super intake, I like those too. Sounds good. https://youtu.be/FZ6zwnyDwUg http://ottm.store https://youtu.be/I8QWEaqeFRw 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008 Super Pro Champion Sunshine Dragstrip, Clearwater Florida | |||

Hard to tell from the picture, I run 8's at 15.5 to one, a colder plug killed power. It does depend on engine temps as well, I'm under 170 back at the trailer. Leave the staging between 125 and 135 depending on the time of year. Circle track engines run hotter, requiring a colder plug. If you run the engine on the hotter side or run a fuel requiring higher temps to get sufficient vaporization then a colder plug may be in order. Run colder temps and the right fuel and plug you gain power. ![]() Mark Whitener RFD Heads FTI Converter Fab Shop Headers Home built 2 circuit Dominator :-) www.racingfuelsystems.com ____________ Good work isn't cheap and cheap work can't be good. | |||

I had a guy I raced with, ran his dragster cool like that on methanol. I turn the corner 160. 165-8 when I turn on the Pre-stage. Methanol. https://youtu.be/FZ6zwnyDwUg http://ottm.store https://youtu.be/I8QWEaqeFRw 1996, 1998, 2001, 2003, 2005, 2006, 2008 Super Pro Champion Sunshine Dragstrip, Clearwater Florida | |||

If that is a methanol plug I would try a hotter plug. Methanol takes a long time to color like that if everything is right, even E85 stays white for a long time. Excessively rich or cold won't keep it clean. Even with methanol I don't pull out any higher than 140. Cold engines make power, as long as you get sufficient vaporized fuel and a hot enough spark. Methanol can be challenging, it takes a lot of heat out of the engine to vaporize. Over fueling makes it worse... ![]() Mark Whitener RFD Heads FTI Converter Fab Shop Headers Home built 2 circuit Dominator :-) www.racingfuelsystems.com ____________ Good work isn't cheap and cheap work can't be good. | |||
