Hey Guys, Just wondering what kind of spark plugs you guys are running on your KA-T setups. What part number? and what are you guys gapping them to? Thanks for the help in advance.

Anything Iridium is a good place to start. The Gap should be .9I prefer NGK R Iridium's or Denso Iridium. They always held up the best to really high boost in my Skyline.

I went with NGK Iridiums...one heat range colder and a smaller pre-gap of (.035") instead of (.044").

Part # - BKR6EIX-11 (stock code: 6418)

NAPA can get them to you in a day or so.

The 7 means they're the stock heat range correct?

Hmm... They are just regular NGKs, probably the same good stuff the stockers are made of? No bling bling here...

I use the OEM Platinum plugs in a 6 heat range...gapped to .030

DaveEEE -

OEM NGKs are Platinum, hence the $8/plug cost...Standard NGKs are Copper IIRC - The one you listed is "Standard 2.6mmø center electrode" per NGK...

Read here: NGK Plug Info (What the numbers/letters mean...)
