Kgibson, what do you mean by index your plug can you elaborate? And do you have any idea what the cooler plug would be? I know the stock plug is a br8es.
advanced timeing and high compression.

when i had my head milled for my 3mil stroker by ken he told me to run a different plug than stock bc of the timing difference. can't remember the nuber off the top of my head but it was a cooler plug
Replace the 8 with a 9 and that's cooler. Raise the plug with a spacer. If they milled .030 you use a .030 spacer you can then advance your timing if you choose and you'll no exactly how many degrees it's advanced.
Deffinatly some green comeing your way gibson, awsome info.Now if i put a .030 spacer on the plug, then advance the timeing will it pump out even more horses ?
Really hmm well thats fine i enjoy that kinda stuff for some odd reason,I like working on my bikes as much as rideing them.Is the cooler plug going to cause more carbon build up ?
If you dont keep it in the efficiency range yeah its gonna tend to foul plugs and pass unburnt fuel threw. But if you keep the plug hot and ride it, it will be fine. Excess idle will do the fouling not riding. Low rpm cruising will kill the plug to. You need to just pay more attention to the specific areas with cooler plugs.
Wot/Cruise 1/4 1/2 3/4 etc. Plug chops are great, reading the basering on the plug is a good mid range way to tell as well. Of course egt and wb02 gauges on a dyno are youre best bet. Understandable though that not everyone has these tools.
Believe it or not i run a 6 in my motor and have no issues. Of course mine is tuned on a dyno and with egt and wbo2 gauges on the bike.

I don't even know what a egt or wb02 gauge is.And thats no problems i'l be rideing the blasty on the pipe constantly, thats just how i ride any how.
which is better for power timing or milling the head if you only do one or the other. Or would doing both be better. is it much different over stock.
You could just buy a used aftermarket exhaust such as a toomey exhaust(or whatever) with a small silencer....just find one cheap that has scratched chrome or just has a lot of cosmetic wear. Paint the pipe matte black like the stock pipe, then take the OEM silencer....open it up, remove the baffle and center....insert the after market silencer inside the larger OEM silencer and put the back end plate back on the OEM silencer.......looks almost like stock, but it's not.
Yea, I'd agree with that. I want to run pump gas, so I am only running a .30 milled head and no timing advance. If I wanted more compression, I'd just mill the head more but that's just me. I get kind of finicky with messing with timing in congruence with milled heads unless it's something I feel good about doing and makes sense. Banshee owners seem to be pretty adamant about doing anything and everything on their forums and will mill the heads pretty excessively, then run +4 advancements on top of that. I think it's more of a matter of adding to their mod list....I know Shee owners get pretty obsessed with that.
fmf makes an unfinished fatty you might have to find one but they look relatively stock, at least from a distance...
