Spark Plugs

So what kind of plugs do the 10's take? I was told to get NGK Racing. I don't even know which ones to get because they are different than the 8's and 9's correct? Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would also like to pick these up today if possible...

Also, when I am rolling in 3rd at about 40 and maybe 3k rpm, then go WOT it almost feels like a bit of lag. I am thinking I need new plugs. It seems like the response is weird. Kind of hard to explain... The car takes off but it's like half it's power then all of a sudden snaps into full power. Like I said it's hard to explain lol

Did you check if the plugs are not bent? What color is the coating on the plugs? Black, white, gray, etc...?

Anymore details on your car? Mods...milage...etc? Inspect the plugs first then give us more info to work with. "Lag" can be caused by several other things.

^^^ agreed, my car has a bit more lag due to my turbo back exhaust. then up top it kicks in. but i say check your plugs and make sure they are alright.

If you do change your plugs, keep them stock. I doubt you need to change them to better plugs unless you've modded your car A LOT.

I kept the plugs stock. In case any of you are curious the stock plugs are the NGK iridium so really no need to change them for a different kind. I got the new plugs in and problem solved. The old ones looked pretty rough for sure. Hope this might help someone else with the same issues.
