Re: [FWDLK] Plugged indices

I guess if you were trying to shave 2-3 tenths off a trip down the
strip, this might work, but I doubt it. Even if true, isn't that the
main reason that  there are Hemi's? To get a more even, controlled burn
rate (explosion) of the fuel?

The only reason I know to add extra seals is to get the plug up out of
the cylinder, to prevent oil fowling, but never say never.
