i say get NGK BKR7E gapped at 0.030

platinum is a waste of money, IMO. I prefer to change plugs at regular intervals.

I heard that runing platinum plugs wasn't a good thing in forced induction motors,
Anyways, IMO under 10psi .032 gap should be fine.
Thats what I run for m 10psi.

Id gap .030 as well.
If you ever put in race and it has small misfires/pops, bump it to .028.

As far as plug type some heat range 6 NGK's is what I would use.
Im a loyal NGK non-platinum fan.

For a Z6 running 6-9 psi use ZFR6J-11 and gap at .032.
