just to add to the spark plug thread,
when running at the track, cool day, 374-ish hp, i was breaking up real bad at the top of fourth, had to shift into fifth before the clocks. i was running the 7`s. gapped at around .030. i gapped them down to .025 and the problem went away. now, with the 9:1 engine, it didn`t like the .025 gap, i think it added to a crappy idle, so back to .030 and i didn`t have problems with that gap at the track.
moral of this story? fuck if i know...
Exercising my constitutional right to be awesome

Don't know the moral either, however, it did make me chuckle.
I need to renew my smog so I am gonna cover my adjustable gears I gapped the BCPR6ES-11 @30. I put the BCPR7ES-11 on order and will try them out when I hook up my intercooler piping I'm not in the mood to try to pass smog with that hooked up.
We have Smognazis here :roll:

I had problems running over .28 or so with 18 pounds of boost. Was blowing spark out at high rpms. Sounded nasty.BLOZ UP.com
It is not recommended to confirm proper installation by driving into walls or other barriers as this could cause personal injury or damage to the vehicle.

Iridiums?
No, actually standard copper plugs have been shown a few times to yield the best performance on the VG. I have always had great results with them. I think this has something to do with the semi-pentroof/hemi combustion chamber shape and the way the airstream enters the chamber in a forced induction application. For the money you spend on iridiums you could have two sets of regular plugs and a set of race plugs anyway...

iridium I think is a good compromise if you don't want to change plugs all the time

i have ngk iridiums , i dont think there is much difference (well im not sure because when i put them on i also changed out alot of things..) , but i regapped them (yea im a tard) becausei had a problem at idle , i broke one of the electrodes so i have one copper spark plug in there with five iridium which reminds me i need to go order another one.
i think they just give me peace of mind , my dad put iridiums in most of his cars (just like how he put optima batteries in all too) , its like i get him to fall into these trends ...
overall , i think theyre worth the extra buck or whatever , i guess i will have to wait until i put my 400hp capable fuel+turbo system in to see if they really are better or not...

And if you really do buy a set, I will probably come over and deck you in the face.
