Spark Plugs

[aeroace]

We used to do this drag racing, but not frequently or with enthusiasm. The plugs wear out immediately. Pull into the staging lane, do a burnout, make a pass, throw the plugs away. It was good for a minescule amount of time reduction, but unless you're trying to turn your 11.02 into a 10.99 pass down the dragstrip, forget about it. Without the ground strap on the sparkplug, the nearest component is the ground. Thus the spark is thrown from the plug to the piston directly. This is not enjoyed by the piston a whole lot as the localized temperature where the spark hits is hotter than aluminum should see. Just get a high quality capacitive discharge ignition box, a good coil, fresh 8mm spiro core wires, and the appropriate heat range sparkplugs. This is the trick, there are no shortcuts.
