2nd - You need plugs that are one-step colder. This will help prevent detonation. Colder plugs pull more heat away from the combustion chamber.

3rd - You need to use copper. You will get a better spark and if you run lean, the copper will melt before your cyclinders.

4th - You need to read your plugs!!!!! You can't do this with old plugs. So, when you start at a 25 shot, make a few runs, and then pull one of the plugs and look for signs of detonation or lean a/f. Each time you increase your shot, pull the same plug and inspect it. Technically, you should pull of them, but I really don't think you need to take the time to do that. Lastly, you should get used to reading your plugs from time to time....it is a really good idea as you might prevent a disaster before it happens.

The Venom is the safest setup on the market. Follow these plug rules and you will be golden.

I use Autolite 103. They will cost you less then $16 for 8 plugs.
Thanks for the advice... man you got to be the most helpful guy on the internet... Im on the way to Advanced Auot to pick them up now.
