Also, what is your target AFR at wot?
I tuned my wot for about 11.2 +/- when under hard boost. As far as plugs I use autolite 3923's and they are hot enough to not foul easy and cold enough (at least for me) to not cause problems, Smitty

Did you change the oil coolers from stock, your running hours are pretty impressive, I rebuild mine at 1/2 that amount and I almost always find a part that was on verge of self destruction, Smitty

Has anyone thought of running two small prochargers instead of one big one? I know it will make more horsepower at lower boost levels but I'm wondering if two small one would keep the IAT's down...
