NGK failed for the first time.

this isnt a grocery getter its drag race engine over 15.1 compression turns close to 10,000 rpm its a different animal than most bracket motors that run a 7 or so

What cetane rating do you need to run?

 

[laz]

most run a blend of c 16 with c 12 about 114 motor octane with lighter gravity this is n a the import guys run ftw its 30 bucks a gallon

So it's a lot like a predator 212? yes if you could build a 50 or 60 thousand dollar one , yes if its an all out one on alcohol

A predator block would blow up running 15.1:1 compression though!

I'm sticking with NGK's. For no other reason than this is the first time in over 50 years that I have had one fail in a 4-stroke engine.
My 2-stroke engines have had good luck running them and an average life of three years,which is good as you know how hard 2-strokes are on plugs.
I also run them in my Propane fueled John Deere tractor and I run the snot out of the tractor year round. The last set lasted almost 10 years.
All of my gasoline engine vehicles run NGK's.

nothing wrong with ngk i use them in some applications the things is they dont last long if you want top performance, anyway you slice it ngks are popular and cheap i use autolite racing for racing but i carry 3 or 4 sets of every type in the trailer

Maybe not... It would be hard to keep lit at 15:1
