spark plug question
Hey everyone, im on my phone and the search feature isn't working for me today. You can view my mods in my build thread linked in my signature (I cant figure out how to copy and paste) but my goal is a high HP car and im just wondering what the best plugs to go with are. Thanks! (This is a boost build)

That is way too open ended. Could be 4-5 different plugs depending on motor/boost/power levels/etc.
TR6, tr6ix, 7ix, 8ix, br7ef, br8ef, 9ix, 9ef, it22, etc.

I'd talk to someone who knows your car personally, not some tuner that is on a forum.

The guy who tunes your car, not jiffy lube bud. There are many threads about innovators and spark plugs, you should check em out.

Really whatever your tuner likes or wants to use. For 800-850rwhp I would be running a 7 or 8ix.

yup...don't go by a forum, do what your tuner wants and tunes for on plugs. And if they say ZR1 plugs...umm...google is your friend.

When i was at 758whp with my D1SC PatG my tuner likes BR7EF.
I will very soon be over 1000whp and my new tuner and shop like the B8EFS plugs. So you should be either -7 or -8 heat range and your tuner will have his favorite

Non projected tip plug like a B8EF for your power. If your tuner has issues tuning them then get a new tuner or run the 8iX iridium plugs.
