Would the car knock due to using stock heat range vs colder plugs?

I was wondering the same thing about changing plugs..Maybe the colder plugs cause less knocking or your other plugs were bad and the new ones were firing better making more power can cause it to knock a bit more.

I'm currently running bpr8es (coppers) on the setup in my sig, works fine. They seem to need replaced every 8-10k miles, but they're only $10 for a set, so its not a big deal..

I ran denso Ikh 24 and they worked ok on WOT, but would foul easily on idle, and when cold, sometimes making the engine impossible to start..

Good point, E85 should burn much cooler, so less need for colder plugs.Originally Posted by Ted B

I think BPR/BR 8EIX should be ok for most pump gas applications.
