OS #8 best all round non turbo plug EVER! McCoy plugs were always inconsistent for me, so stopped using them!

This was my truck that my father and I used to race back in the 90's. Truck had tons of power but a lot of tuning issues. When it was running right, it was untouchable in the power dept and the longer run times meant we didn't have to pit.

The higher compression also made it a bastard to start; we were constantly chewing up bump starter wheels. We eventually gave up on the project since it would never stay running consistently.

Thanks for posting the article, I had forgotten about it.

Diesel conversions were popular with planes, but as said not popular with cars.

Who can forget the smell of nitro scents like coconut, banana, vanilla and bubble gum?
