My car fouled out the 9s in a matter of about 200 miles. No big deal. I maybe drive the car 50 miles a month. But the sad part is, I have a HI-6 on my car. But, that does'nt keep me from putting 9s back in though!

Plugs are cheap, motors are'nt.

BTW: The reason it fouls plugs is because I'm running my own anit-detination device. 9-1 a/f ratio. CJ

9s....any added insurance against detonation/pre-ignition is well worth it

I've never had a problem and I usually get 15k out of them, the insulators always look nice and brown

ok, that didn't sound quite right

seriously though, if the plugs load up, YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO....my car is hardly ever below 4k
