Keep in mind guys. Daily driving puts you in a lot of cruising situations. The plugs need to run hot enough to burn off deposits from the electrodes. I'd probably run a step up from OEM for a daily driver and tune a bit conservatively to prevent detonation. And then run a colder plug that is more suited for your actual power level for the track if your car serves double duty. Maybe even run a separate map for those so you can make use of the headroom for detonation they should give you.

But right now my car don't move much untill I get a new downpipe gasket and the roads are cleaner in the meantime I have one killer paperweight in my garage. so cheers to spring finally being hear and time to work on my car
