Well, I got the car and tonight on a pull it misfired twice plus it's time to change the plugs since I don't know what the hell's in there. From what I'm searching I should be going with the BPR8ES or BR8ES...Debating on which one to go with.
Where are you getting yours for $6 for all 4?
Anymore comments on if I should go with the projected tip plug (BPR8ES) or non?

Picked up some of the BPR8ES plugs from Advance for like $2.25 a piece, changed em in the parkin lot and found out the previous shop put in BPR9ES's. I had a missing problem so I figured it was the plugs since I didn't know what was in them or the history of them so put in the 8's and still missed under load/boost. Did it for a day or two but since last night it has been FINE and completely back to normal so I have no idea what's going on, If I got on it hard once boost and load got up there it would miss like someone turned the key off, not sure if it is fuel or spark related, there would be no CEL after it so I'm assuming fuel?

I have had my magnacore's for almost 8yrs...Chris Black did tell me there was some fitment issues and stock were better. Then I heard magnacore redesigned the seats...its whatever though I am going to COP. Chris changed out my NKG iridium for copper version to rid my car of the misfire. The first time something got cheaper for my car, at less then $10 a set. Long story short Copper plugs, stock wires until COP.

I get 4 BR8ES for ~10 bucks at Advanced or Autozone
My car 100% prefers the non-protruded tip plugs over the protruded tips both in the 7 heat range I use to run and the 8 heat range I run now. Smoother idle, accel, and look very uniform on replacement
Changed every 3-5k
