I am pretty close on a deal. If that doesn't go through, I will consider turning the truck back to stock and selling the components. (supercharger, headers, exhaust, traction bars, bed cover, etc)

Thanks guys... I changed out the plugs and butt dyno says the truck is a little better. It was more of a pain than I thought it would be, but not terrible. I'll look at other options in the near future. :burnout:

Thanks! mostly from discussion in this thread supplemented with reading online from NGK and other forums. Searching google returns lots of different things... cross references, other plugs, etc. It was suggested that I try both 6F and 7F. I'm just trying to make sure I'm looking at the right...

Still reading/learning... since I'm only adding about 100hp over stock, the 6F may be the better option? Would that be one step cooler option over stock? :confused: Also... I'm seeing different options for each V-Power, nickel, etc. Still trying to figure out which one. A link would be...

are these the correct plugs? NGK Nickel Spark Plug (ZFR7F-11) 6855: Search no more for the best Motorcycle Spark Plugs at Advance Auto Parts If so, I'm just going to start with one or the other. Assuming plain vanilla paxton auto tranny sc, which one 7F or 6F? (with the 7 being colder)...

Just a quick search before asking. I'll see if I can find time to change the plugs this weekend. I'm dreading a wire change :afraid: I appreciate the offer to take it and make it what it should be ;) I'll be doing one step at a time for now. I may end up taking you up on it later :D

I'm thinking cooler air would help some, too. 100+ degrees sucks for what I have.

NGK Iridium IX, BKR7EIX-11, stock number 6988 for supercharged system :dontknow: If so, who carries them for our trucks?

Thanks for all the info guys! Looks like I have some work to do. The cooler header was empty (maybe a little on the bottom... I could not reach any liquid with my finger) so I topped it off with some royal purple purple ice and filtered water. I can see it swirling around in there so I know it...

I understand now that the auto tranny is rated 595 at the flywheel. Seems like I've seen similar qc setups (sc, headers, cat back) posting higher, though. I think that the post I read was from a while back and was originally looked at as a solution, but ultimately was not used. I need to...

No data logging on the dyno. I'd have to have it tuned to get that. Which I may look into doing if I don't find anything.

Right... Sorry about that Keller, TX (DFW area) ambient temp about 100 degrees (dyno was in the garage with fan blowing over the engine). Humidity approx 45%. I was hoping to see high 500's/low 600's based on what I read and the claims from Paxton. Truck has 42K miles. Supercharger 30K I'm...

I purchased a paxton supercharged 2005 QC earlier this year... I noticed the serpentine belt was looking frayed so I bought a new belt and took it in to a local speed shop to diagnose and fix the problem. Anyways, while I was there, I had them dyno the truck. I got 529hp and 510tq. I was...

dangit I missed it... put me next in line for the rear mat if it falls through.

I can't tell how to update the original post :dontknow: here are a few updated pics with engine pics. Autotrader link http://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/vehicledetails.xhtml?ownerId=69181735&searchRadius=0&listingId=377735710
