What is some part numbers for NGK that you guys running in your setups for 14-22psi? I have some NGK PFR6-11 that I got from nissan house.

I am ready to buy some sevens if you guys recommend it and what exact part numbers.

The idea is that the plug has a fine tip on it, and electricity spreads itself out over the width of the tip. So.. it's a concentrated spark, and harder to blow out. You wouldn't really gain power, I don't think. It'd be more like... gaining efficiency. You can de-gap from the coppers a bit, and gain a more complete combustion. This results in a slight power increase.. but really, nothing worth mentioning.-Jeff

oops, I guess I didnt read carefully enough. I use the copper ones as well, BKR7E-11. Much cheaper than iridiums and they work just fine....

I use BKR6E-11 gapped to .032 i didnt think it was a good idea to go much smaller than that but i still have some spark issues in boost. I think ill try .025 before the next autoX.~Sam

copper is just fine; one set of iridiums is equivalent to three sets of copper ones when you look at the price. i havent heard a nite and day difference with iridiums either
