Interesting... I personally have had no issues. Then again, I've still yet to track the car and keep it under sustained load for longer durations of time. I am looking at other options as we speak though. I'm doing this mainly, just because that is what I do...

I think it might be time to change the plugs on my car, but i am unsure of which plugs to get with the mods i have. can someone point me in the right direction. Mods are in sig.

what would be the gap as well for those plugs (except iridium which i see come pregapped).

thanks in advance for the help!!

I just wanted to add I tried the Denso IW24's and I got a lot of misfire in the low to mid rpm range. I guess a colder plug wasn't really needed. I'm back to NGK BPR7ES @ .025 with 0 problems.

Plenty of advice on this thread among others. I recommend starting with these because they are cheap and easy to find locally:

NGK BPR7ES
NGK BPR8ES

1 step colder plugs mis a lot in my car. I also have a HKS DLII ignition with stock coils. Both of these plugs are copper so they need changed pretty often.
