I've never had any probs with running BKR7E's

They're about 1.50 a piece, and usually last about every oil change. Advance Auto Parts has had them in stock every time I go....

colder the heat range the deeper the reach. What else is there to know. I use the same .8 gap

um no, a cold plug has a longer ceramic surround to the center eletrode to conduct more heat to the cylinder head and out of the combustion chamber.hotter has shorter wells.

you will foul out those 9's pretty quickly if your not foot in the pedal.

i ran 9's on my high comp allmotor and they worked wonderfully for that purpose.

but i am running 7's currently. i ask for n/a 300zx plug (a 6) then search the shelves for 7 of the same model
