Used to be pretty common to go one step colder on the plugs on a race engine even in N/A form, especially rally and safari motors that get some proper hammer and heat buildup.

It may have been just the plug temperatures that were your issue then if you were using standard plugs, hence asking, I'd go at least to the 8's suggested above and possibly a little colder if you can find one, given it's a race/rally engine.

I didnt even know there was different temperaures of plugs..

Would you have any links so I could see the exact plug that I should be buying? I don't think im going to go down the forged route now so I will be retaining the 363 bhp..

Thanks for all your help

Dude...

1. Highlight the plug I specified in my post

2. Right click on that highlighted test and chose "search google for *highlighted text*"

3. Read results.
