Default So this is pinging...

Turbodog has been kind enough to host the solo runs. You should be able to clearly hear the pinging. I've since switched back to colder plugs (been experimenting) and hope that it was the cause.

Default Yeah, I took the plugs out yesterday and will try to take pics later and post.

Other than being a bit sooty, they looked ok to me. I'm not good at reading plugs though. They had about 3k on them. I switched back to the BKR7E yesterday. I'll have to see if I can do another run this week.

Default I've run them during the summer and dyno day...

During the dyno, there was no pinging. I'm also assuming there was no pinging during the summer when I used them (although like I said I can't tell from inside).

I hope these do the trick. For around $2 a piece, it's hard to pass up.
