You can run colder plugs, but it won't do much for you. they will also foul up quicker because they don't get hot enough to clean themselves off unless you get on it every once in a while.

IMO... 2 ranges are way to much. even one would be overkill with the mods you have right now.
If I were you, stick with stockers.
you dont need the colder ones till you start packing some real boost into the engine.
If you are not getting any KR with the plugs you have. stick with them....

I agree with Chrys. I have a 3.4, DHP, FWI and some other little things. I ran one Range colder and it actually hurt the performance. I went and go the stock heat range plugs in Aridum.

Coder plugs dont last as long(fouling) But wont hurt anything but your back from changing them-but thats expected from a race plug.

I doubt you feel much of a power gain at this point but cooler plugs allways help with KR. If you dont mind changing them a little more often. But you really dont need them at this point yet.

Make sure you gap them per NGK's or autolites specs not you factory gap. A general rule of thumb is the cooler the less gap to prevent fouling.

GO with autolite 605's

Only time you should use a colder plug is if you are seeing knock.
Liek everyone else said on here. The cooler the plug the sooner it fouls out. Like BC said the plug will never get hot enought to burn the excess carbon off thus fouling out the plug.

i dont know why no one every recomendes auto lite 605s(1 degree) colder. All you ever hear is everyone say they have 104s, even when they are lightly modded.

I have had 605s on for a while and have had no problems whatsoever.

Go with them.

isn't that what alex said? :huh:

I can't even run the 103's anymore without fouling them out very fast. I'm running a 104 and I consider myself pretty highly modded.

yeah, but it seems as if I always read everyone saying 104s for everything.

 

[alexgtp]

autolite 605 = stock heat range
autolite 104 =1.5 cooler
autloite 103 = 2 colder
