my video btw, car has major misfiring issue that day, found out that #2 and #3 spark plugs failed really bad. Hate Denso now, switched to NGK see if they are better.

First time using this gear ratio on Thill (AP2 tranny + 4.44 FD), not really used to it, especially turn 3 and 11.

Ya I had misfire problem too, but I use AEM EMS so no CEL lol, until the last session I heard loud misfiring sound from my exhaust while full throttle on the straight way.

Checked my car the day after, 2 spark plugs are bad, same as usual, the metal part are separate from the ceramic core part. you can actually turn the ceramic part while holding the metal part, more than 10 Denso plugs I'v used made this problem after few events, so I am switching to NGK now, will see if they can hold longer.

since your CEL went off, you should be fine, maybe just temporary problem.

my motor is 100% stock, just K&N intake and T1R exhaust, with EMS tuned by Jet @ Blacktrax, 220WHP.

Why are you going through spark plugs like that. I've been running Denso's at the track and never had issues with them.
