ones that handle the heat and gapped so the spark doesnt blow out.

how much power you plan on making?

yeah try them out for a little bit pull them, see if the heat range is working out if not replace with another is so, your ready to rock. Gapping is pretty simple.

Hey Mike, just thinking ahead on this one...what do you think is a good plug for a ~400whp E85 GSR with OEM ignition. So far i've been on BKR7e's at a .28 gap...
