Microtech Only using leading plugs, what to change to run trailings?
My car has only run with leading plugs since the new motor and single turbo were installed.
I get horrible gas milage and lots of smoke, I want to run with all four plugs now.
I tried installing trailings and the car ran like ****. No power, hesitation and it felt like constant detonation.
I removed the trailings until I learn what needs to be adjusted on my LT-8 to run all four plugs.
The builder installed anti-dets, the reasoning was since 90% of detonation occurs in the trailings, so it would be safer to run without them. That was last summer.
So, what do I need to change to safely run all four plugs? I have a wideband and the car is currently tuned alright.
Also is it true I am missing appox. 10% rwhp by not using the trailings?
Thanks for any help
