Noticed something funny when changing plugs
 
Changed the spark plugs, and when I pulled out the old ones, the 3 cylinders on the passenger side of the truck were significantly more brown/ugly than the 3 on the driver side. I wouldn't say "fouled" but just had more browning on the porcelain, and a tiny bit more soot on the electrode. what could be causing this?

Never seen it like that on a whole bank, usually one cyl. Could have something to do with a weak spark. I am not too familiar with the 3.slow, does the pass side have a longer run on the plug wires? Also are the fuel rails seperate. Could have gotten something in the pass rail and made the injectors dirtier than the driver ones? Just some thoughts...

On a side note, whats the SS run the 1/4 in? Looks FAST

On nitto555's it did a 11.58 @128.7mph
still had traction problems.

that was my first and only run, they wouldn't let me go again without roll cage :(

Not too bad, time for a cage....

Sounds like an intake manifold leak on the one bank. How is your idle? Fuel mileage? Does the idle change when you spray some brake clean down the suspect bank? Watch your tach when doing this spray test, a lot of times the change will not be audible.

That's just in the northern hemisphere. In the southern hemisphere the other cylinder bank would have that problem. Need to get a turbonator to swirl the air around and stop that...

I forgot about the turbonator, that is important. Good post Flamedx4. LS1, you'll also need to check the canooter valve to make sure the sine wave frequency is correct. Otherwise, the foscarnate module will only adjust the flow of hydrogen particles to the drivers side bank. That said, I'd also check the JDFC (jenkins dual flow cantabulator) to make sure that wasn't leaking. We all know what kind of problems that can cause. Good luck LS1, we're all pulling for you!

I think you guys are reading way too much into the problem. It's obviously the flux capacitor.

I AGREE!!!!!!! Must not have done the Y2K upgrade....delayed reaction...

And get the parts that say Type-R on them - good for 100 hp easy.

and if its the red R with crome edgine thats 25hp extra.... :rockon:

You need to measure the voltage on your spark plugs then. It needs to be at least 1.21 Jigawatts.

Elton 04-17-2006 06:08 PM

and dont forgot to get some Type-R stickers that is good for atleast 50hp

wrenchmonster 04-18-2006 06:05 PM

Note: Don't forget that high performance engine parts like oil caps and valve covers, have to made of anodized aluminum to be a valid high performance part. Don't be fooled by imitators!

Apparently blue anodization adds 15hp more than red, but supporters of red anodization claim 17hp over blue!
