Please pay attention before you post info like this... the OP lists and VIII in his information. If you have him start gapping plugs that tight on a VIII without running meth or anything like that, he is going to be replacing plugs quite quickly, and id imagine misfiring quite a bit.

added boost doesnt mean meth... i run 28 to 30 psi all day long, but i am on a built bottom end. My plugs are gapped at .024 and i have no issues. I am running a COP though too, so that could be why. I read your mod list and it didnt say meth, which is why i commented how i did.

my reason for saying i gap mine at .022 was saying that they dont seem to hold up well with added boost (or meth for that matter) and that I had to replace them about every 10k miles before i decided to go with a colder plug for track use..but for stock power levels they are a decent plug...i wasnt telling the OP to gap them at that haha sorry for the misunderstanding

Alright so i went to pepboys again and the dude that gave me the spark plugs were there. I told him he might of gave me the wrong one and he admitted that he did. The new ones are bpr7eix. Or do i need the bpr7es? Yes i have a evo 8. Does those plug matters?
