Default Need help - what spark plugs?

I have a CRX with B18A1 swap, and I'm in the process of installing a t3/t04e turbo. The car will be used primarily for drag racing, and I'm hoping for 300 hp.

Can you recommend a good spark plug for my car? Thanks

I had one person recommend a 8 because it was a step colder. What is the difference between 7s and 8s, and how would they benefit me?

Also, are these plugs available from Autozone, Advance, etc, or do you have to special order them?

You answered your own question. The only difference between the 7 and 8 is the 8 is a step colder.

BTW, I plan on using NGK BKR7E in my 300-350whp turbo setup.

Draws more heat away from the combustion chamber, less likley to contribute to pre-ignition.
