I will echo what Marco states. I believe I can safely say that Hardtail is very well respected by all and no comments have been levied toward him. Several of us have run into isolated incidents with different plugs and that’s all there is to it. We just stated facts that we have seen.

Leave it to someone without a clue to resort to name calling. Can't answer my question either. Neither can Ed.

There's a lot more that affects the ion sense and resistance for that matter, than just plugs. I've given you every benefit of the doubt monitoring for false knock/timing being pulled. To say it happens running NGK plugs is flat out wrong. Can they? Depends on a lot of of other factors including the cal and tolerances, gap, ignition advance, and resistance of the wires to name a few.
​​​​​I get none. Neither do plentry of others. No I don't have it disabled and my compression is 212psi.
Your builder runs autolites, btw. Hillside runs NGKs.
What cal were you running? Plug gap? Did you check your plug wires? Coil?

And how are checking resistance on a sac9 plug, btw? I've asked this before too.

Heres a guy with the opposite results...go figure.

Don't post a different dyno. You were dead in the water at 5600rpm with Tman 660s and predicted my hp/torque based off yours and the fact I'm not running 2in1. You should've considered head flow and tune instead. I had 2 of the best and a good exhaust isn't determined by whether it's a 2in1, 212, or 2-2. As a tuner you should know that. Or maybe you're just another one trick pony?

Those cams have an IVC of 52 and still die at 5600 and make less hp than mine with the 590s and an IVC of 43°btw. Maybe you need to find a better tuner? Or a better head porter. Or both. Who did those heads again?

I'm done here.

maybe you need to suck a di#$%
i repeat that I have never had any bike with 660 cams
you are very brave behind your keyboard
bring your *** and your bikes down here and put up or shut up, that simple.
that simple, every time.
every time you are invited you shut up,,,put up or shut up.
I'm glad your bike runs good, you spent the money with the right people and guess what? you got results. now shut the fck up!

New plugs and wires working great. Love the look of red PHAT plugs on the black and chrome bike. Looks awesome.
