Status: offline 		well since my sts 28 shut itself right off, im guessing that the hsn and lsn were a little rich, but i looked at the lsn and it is sticking waaaay out

so should the head of the screw be flush w/ the socket holder thing?

or should it stick out?

Status: offline 		I think if you set your LSN flush it may be on the lean side. Nine came out of the box like yours did . with the LSn sticking out a bit I broke it in that way then started tuning for performance. I should have checked too see what the starting point was before i started tuning but I didn't. all I know is that it is not like the NS.25 were the starting point is flush.

A3 is too hot of a plug. Well it really depends on a couple of criterias (sp??)

Plug use depends of what type/level/grade of fuel you run and, importantly, the climate at the time you're running. Add in the engine size (in your case it's a STS .28 duh..)

Provide your fuel type and the day's climate and perhaps we can go further.
