Read my plugs?
I cut up a couple of plugs from a few weeks ago.
Small block, no power adder on 100 octane Sunoco.
The plug on the left is a 3923 and the right is a 3924.
The 3923's had about 25 passes and the 3924 was in
for one night.
The 3924's seem to be a little faster.

John, looks ok for the most part on the right plug. I'd sugguest at this point start jetting it for MPH, it might still be a tad fat.

Thanks for the reply John.
So far Ive run 11.73 @ 115.5 with a 1.62 60 foot time.
The density altitude changes from 1200 feet down to 300 as the night goes on. I took the front down one jet size since I pulled the plugs . The bigger jet might be right in a few weeks from now when the DA goes under sea level conditions.
Im also taking the 3200 stall speed out and putting in a (hopefully) 4500. Right now when I leave the car jumps out and kinda sits there til 4000 and then takes off.

must be nice to have a lathe to do that. Very easy to read the plugs in that manner.JohnDougherty wrote:I use a cut off tool and chuck the plug up in a lathe.
I would agree, it looks like you could pull a little fuel out to be ideal. It's close and looks like it would be a manner of tuning for speed and changing weather conditions.

You can cut them reasonably well with a chop saw or a cut off wheel in a die grinder also.
