What spark plugs should I use when I install the Zex? I have a set of Bosch Platinums that I haven't put in yet, would those be OK? Maybe you can help me Neil. Thanks Guys!!

Stick with the NGK's. They have a much better track record then Autolite's, Accel's, Champion's, etc...

I just noticed you are runnen Khumho Ecsta's. You might want to by some other tread cause once you hit that N2O2 those tires of yours will go up in smoke. Neil had some good tread on his Contour but those of his even said "f*** you!" just trying to let you know you are going to be given the crowd more of a show then anything else with your tires going up like fourth of July.

Yeah the Kumhos are all done anyways. They have about 35,000-40,000 miles of hard driving on them. And the two Contours they were on have been lowered which didn't help. Neil, what tires were you running? Any suggestions?Nitto, Toyo,Yoko?
