Backpedal? Show me a post where I said I would personally break your arms and legs. Yeah, I thought so…

So what happened to those gay little blips on your queer radar screen? Changed your mind?

Obviously your so called “pounding” is not working as I’m still here calling you a shit talking, have no balls in real life closet fag.

I hope the baby you are planning to do in 6 months won’t turn out to be a fucking cunt like you.

Nothing as in empty, hollow, alone. I can understand those feelings coming from you. You spent all that money having a twin turbo Viper built to win the admiration and attention of other viper owners. You even tried to involve them in the build by posting photos of each and every step and by asking their opinions about what parts you should use. You went so far as to try to bolster the favor of the Viper community by imposing their part recommendations upon your tuner. All to no avail---you are still ignored, talked down to, and laughed at. Yes, I can understand why someone with your issues would feel "nothing" at this point.

Frankly this is somewhat more interesting than reading the Alley's Ann Landers Viper tuning column. Although the consistent references to fagot this and pole smoking that is gay.

I got no beef with SRK....other than his on line personae is bizarre. Seems to be a seriously strange dude. His sig's just another skip down the yellow brick road.

Why did you feel the need to copy and paste that line into EVERY post you have made on EVERY forum that lets you spout your shit? It only solidifies (is that too big of a word for you?) the fact that you're a fucking wanker, a tosser....a fucking idiot (in English you'll understand)!

You would have gotten MORE MILES out of simply fading off into oblivion, only to come back with your "results". As it is....who cares about your results!!??? MBK gets in a pissing contest with Larry, gets OUT GUNNED, then falls back on the old "I'm not posting anymore until I have results"........

Face it....YOU'RE FUCKED, YOU'LL STAY FUCKED....because you are, well.....an idiot.

Mind you, that is simply one man's opinion (at ths point). Agree...disagree....please discuss.

*Some what of a cross post*
I have had many question about Striker heads and just wanted to clear it up for the people that don't know....Kenny might not have gone the right way about some of his post and ETC but he would not have had to if his car would have been running correctly!! Now that we know what plugs were installed I have no doubt about what problems he says he is having. Those are not at all the correct plugs or even acceptable plugs to use in that application PERIOD. We have installed and use many of these Striker Heads from JM and they have worked perfect with NO tuning issues. For those of you who are wondering about using the plugs Kenny had installed in his STRIKER heads here is something to consider. Intake ports, combustion chambers, piston tops, and spark plugs are all designed together as a system to ensure good combustion. If one of the elements of the systems is changed, then the combustion system cannot function properly. In this case, installing a 3/4" reach plug in a combustion chamber designed to use a 1" plug leaves the spark plug electrode gap sitting in the spark plug hole, whereas the combustion chamber has been designed to have the spark plug electrodes protruding into the chamber. A hole is not a good place to initiate combustion, so the initial flame propagation (if the plug is able to light the mixture at all) will be sluggish. Sluggish burn rates will have the effect of retarding the combustion phasing relative to the piston motion, and increase the variability in combustion from cycle to cycle. Increased combustion variability will manifest itself in a vehicle as an engine that idles rough, perhaps has trouble starting, and doesn't make as much power as it would otherwise be capable of making. To summarize, a spark plug with shorter reach than the cylinder head is designed for will leave the spark plug gap in a hole, combustion quality will suffer greatly, and the engine will run poorly. The easiest solution here is to simply install the correct spark plug and reap the combustion benefits. Refer to the pictures to observe what I am talking about. I would *NOT* put the correct plugs in this car and try to drive it on it's present tune. Please see pictures below as one shows the 3/4 plug that is in Kenny's Striker Heads and the other pictures show the CORRECT plug that is supposed to be in Kenny's heads!

Makes a lot of sense about plugs. Thanks for interesting facts as pictures tell the story.

I really didn't want to post on this thread, but I feel I have to since I am one of the few that has actually rode in Kenny's viper.

As an engineer, I agree with Underground's explanation. It’s a very mechanical explanation, very "textbook” if you may. In addition, one can argue that the current plug in Kenny's car is not the ideal/recommended choice. I am sure it would require a different tune than the iridium plugs, but I don't think you can say the car would absolutely not run with them. Why, because I wrode in it.

What I do know is that when I rode in the car it ran flawlessly. In fact, Kenny has posted on here that it ran smooth, didn't buck, idle hang, etc (once the battery was replaced). It also ran well for Ken's viper tech when it was delivered (with other Ohio VCA members present). It also produced monster torque on the dyno (actually more than it originally did with the iridium plugs and VEC2). Of course we get a different story about how it runs now........but that is to be expected with the drama of this situation.

I am sure some of you will say, "You’re a customer of Larry's and your opinion is biased, doesn’t count etc.", which is fine. I can accept that (and expect it from some). I have no reason to lie; I’m not going to gain anything out of it. Hell, I didn’t even have to post on the matter. Those of you who do know me, know that I tell it like it is. I'm not a bullsh!ter, I'm going to say what I think and know. I really don't care. If I thought Kenny's car ran bad when I was in it, I would have told Larry right then and there. I would have had no problem with that at all. He asked for my honest opinion and I gave it to him, the car ran great! Like many, I didn’t want to read anymore of this drama. I wanted both parties to be happy.

However, this situation is an unfortunate one that goes WAY beyond a spark plug (seems almost personal to me). There is so much more going on its absurd. Conflicting stories all over the place. You can disagree with me, say I am full of it, whatever, all I ask is at least respect me for saying what I know (flame suit on).

Another interesting post from the VCA.
"For the record, F1 and older Indy engines use/used retracted gap plugs. They did so because the designer couldn't give up the cut-out in the piston dome because it would lower the compression ratio. In very highly turbocharged engines it was the only way to keep the plug tip cool. In this application it may prove not to be the ideal, but it wouldn't keep the engine from running fairly well."
