I like NGK V-power plugs, currently I use NGKBKR5E-11, I really like them, this is for N/A though.
When I go turbo I will most likely be running NGKBKR 6 or 7 ES depending on my whp. Go a heat range colder than stock for every 75-100 or so extra hp, this means at least one step colder for your turbo kit, maybe another when you start making serious power.

i run bkr7e's. Make sure you close the gap on them to around 35/1000ths or so. I drove around for a long time pissed off until i figured that one out. lol

Really? That small? What gap were they at before when it wasn't working so well?

What boost do you run? What ignition system do you have?These make a difference in the gap needed. -Jeff

stock ignition.I was running stock gap at .044 and at 5 psi it would just blow the spark out. .035 is what i initially went to when it was happening so i stuck with that. I might could go a little higher but i haven't tried it yet.

You're heat range is too cold for your motor, and you'll be fouling plugs.I'm running stock ignition with 7 heat range plugs, but at 350+hp (I'll get on a dyno soon enough), and my gap is .027"From what a lot of people have told me is to increase the heat range by 1 step colder for every 100hp you add.-Jeff

Yeah i know.i've got msd 50lb injectors sitting in my room to be thrown on in the next week or so. I'm only running 5 psi right now because of the stock fuel system. don't worry i'll be running 15 psi soon enough.
