What is Indexing spark plugs-
Indexing spark plugs is when you face the electrode of the spark plug toward either the intake or exhaust valves, it is an old racing trick to try and get better performance out of the spark. This is usally done by using copper washer that are set at differnt thickness. Napa auto stores and some other retailers may carry these.

Why should I care about indexing, well if your like me I try to gap my spark plugs as close to each other as possible this is just the last step in order to get the biggest bang for your buck.. every hp counts even if its only 1 to 2% increase
