I recently installed a NX wet kit on my car. I ran it at the track a couple of times. Then I took the car and put it on a dyno. Here is what I have.
Stock 90 efi 302
150 wet shot
other minor bolt ons
Dyno N/A was 205HP/320fttq to the wheels
stock plugs timing set at 10deg
No changes just 150 shot
306hp/455tq to the wheels
I talked to the guys at NX and they said that the timing should be set at approx 8deg and to use NGK UR6 plugs which are two steps colder than stock.
I talked to a friend that works at ford and knows far more about these cars than I do, and he says to run 1 step colder with the timing set at 10 deg.
I am trying to pick up the extra 50 or so HP that I am not getting the the 150 shot, but still want to stay fairly safe on the block.
Why is it that you run colder plugs than stock? Why back off the timing? Please be more specific than saying "because your supposed to"
Thanks for the help.
