Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

[kbuskill]

I just ran across these plugs on another forum, for motorcycles, that I am a member of. Never seen or heard of them before but found them rather interesting.

Brisk Silver Racing Spark Plug Online, High Performance Spark Plugs
https://www.briskusa.com/

They have some pretty interesting videos that show the different plugs in action so you can see the spark patterns.

They have several different styles. Some are designed for boosted applications and there website says that for certain applications a colder plug may be required, which tells me they might actually have a plug that would work properly in "The Beast".

Anyway, just thought I would post these up here for you to check out since we had been talking about different plugs.

Thanks, I’ll check those out.

Brisk plugs are GTG

I'm guessing you've used them before?

I had never even heard of them.

Any noticeable difference over regular plugs?

 

[gat0r]

i had them on a prior sportbike. seemed a little crisper. overall comparable to NGKs.

buddy used them in kart racing & said they burned cleaner than others he used.
said he really liked them on his boosted mustang.

Well I’ve been doing a lot of work on the Silverado but I haven’t forgotten The Beast. It looks like I’m gonna be laid off awhile, a lot of projects around here have been shut down. I already know I have to strip, paint and clear coat all the exterior handles and the front emblem because the damn U-Pol #1 failed miserably and spider webbed terribly. I’ve also been thinking about painting all the interior wood-grained plastic with the stuff I used on the window switch bezels on The Machine, Krylon Fusion Dark Metallic.
Stay tuned.

Bee poop.... lol

Let’s hope Mark doesn’t run out of intricate, detail oriented projects on his vehicles or he could be doing stuff like this.....

How many miles do you have on the LQ with the blower? Been wanting to see some updates on this thing.

Bee poop? Really? Can’t say I’ve ever seen bee poop and if I have I didn’t realize it lol

Coming up on 170k, it had 150 when I installed the Whipple. Only issue has been the one time I managed to grenade the Performabuilt 4l60 but it was rebuilt again under warranty.

If you get those squiggly yellowish things like those two that are on my door handle then you get bee poop. It’s kind of waxy and hard to get off. I get it bad all spring.

Yeah, when you see them carrying little newspapers under one wing, you can tell they are about to go...
