OEM plugs are over $65/set. I use NGK Iridium IX, BPR7EIX. As good or better than OEM and $28/set at Kragen.

You have an VIII, and he appears to have a IX, so the BPR's won't work for him.

The OEM Iridium IX plugs are $47 per set here by the way.....

Sorry, I assumed you'd scroll down to this listing: "NGK Laser Iridium Spark Plugs / Heat Range 7 (ILFR7H / Evo IX)"

Here's a link to the exact listing of the plugs: http://www.maperformance.com/ngk-las...7h-evo-ix.html

They may be out of them, but the ILFR7H's are the OEM IX plugs.

Not in an VIII, but both of my IX's came with ILFR7H's from the factory, and it's widely documented to be that case on EvoM........

No worries. Ish happens. I just did a quick google search under the part number, and here are some other places to get the ILFR7H's for under, or at least right around $50....

+1 Stock Iridiums (ILFR7H), unless you are making a boat load of power and running hot, then consider the step colder plugs.
