brack/brown o.k.? not in my book,, with out no2 plug's should be soot free and tan in color, NGK's are O.K. you'll have to try a few diff brand's to find what work's best for your car's set up (it's like beer they all get you drunk but which one taste's best) yuk yuk, any good part's store should be able to get the plug's for you, you need a colder plug with a w/no2, and a good ing. system, 1 step colder should be O.K. with a 75shot, a little less timing when the no2 is on, and good gas is a must!! read the article and give it to your brother sound's like he need's it, good luck and go slow with the tune.

When you did the plug reading did you let the car idle at all? If you don't shut the car off right after the pass it can throw the reading off.

also guys my car is a 5speed and i want to change the flywheel but it will make it revv up faster and im my head it makes sence that i want to revv up faster when not on the juice but i want to revv up slower with the juice on cause it equals more time with the n2o so i want to know what you guys think?? should i get it or not ?

12:1 is pretty good. some will say 11:1 is better.

Reving Up Faster Is Always Better. Faster You Rev The Faster The Car Is Going. The Light Weight Flywheel Only Reduces The Resistance Between The Engine's Output To The Wheels. In Other Words A More Efficent Drivetrain, More Power Will Make It To The Wheels. While You're At It Upgrade The Stock Clutch, 255 Lb Of Torque Is Way To Much For The Stock Tc Clutch. I'm Going To Upgrade The Flywheel And Clutch After I Torch The First Clutch. If You Look On Scionlife.com And Use The Search Engine You Can Find Some Articles About People Using Nos. They Mention What Plugs They Have Used. Sorry I'm Yelling It's Sunday And I'm At Work.

^^ oh yeah i already burned my clutch lol my new one is one the way, but i dont want to rev faster cause that mean less time on the button and thats not good im only gonna get the stage 1 from spec clutchs and it handles up to 365tq which is way more than what i need, and i use ngk iridum i think ama stick to those since they are working perfect cept i got to change them too much and its like 30 bucks every change.

hey mrr23 is 11.1 too lean?? i rather run rich than lean cause i've heard lean cause the big booms lol and im at 11.9-12.1 i think it still pretty good i mean how can i get more power out of my 75 shot, its only giving me 60hp at the wheels i was at least expecting 65-70 ( i know a 75 doenst really give 75hp) but i was expecting a lil more, i want to get the best bang for my buck, know what i mean??
