Kevin: An MSD AL6 will fry iridium plugs! Better off with double plats with a lower temp by 1 or 2 steps. If he wants to push a bit of nitrous and a capacative discharge ignition, ZEX plugs are the way to go.

Yeah, No matter how many times I hear it and I know it , i always get that wrong man! it's double plats what's really in my head...

You may wanna add a pyrometer to measure the temp of the exhaust as well, then u'll know if your running lean for sure! (i trust more that than the AF) i have 4 gauges, the 4 mentioned...

Good idea on the exhaust mani temp ..... I hadn't though of that for my own install either ...... I'm finding stuff for good prices and this is still getting into some very large numbers! I found that dezod has an AEM EMS system with a basemap and tC plug-and-play harness for 2 grand! Super expensive, but I'm thinking about it ..... it seems that EMS is the way for me to go since I want the 2-step ignition.

The only things your friend needs to finish and get started are an upgraded fuel pump, dsm 450cc injectors, chipped ECU for whatever motor he's using, tuning software, boost gauge, wideband a/f, oil press gauge. Recommend using a 3" exhaust for that turbo. Just use some NGK BKR7E plugs.

He doesnt need a full ignition system or built motor, if its tuned right he can run 12-15psi on a stock block.

Tell him to swap to OBD1 if he can. Makes things a lot easier.
