You can get away with 7's, but some will suggest 8's. I think 7's should be fine, but without first hand experience, I'll let someone else fully answer the question. There shouldn't be any way you'd be in need of anything colder than 8's, though.

ngk 3330's...just change them out kinda often(like every oil change) cause they tend to get sketchy when they are ran for awhile. but they are only like 1.25ish a plug so its no biggy.

I get all my NGK's at Advance Auto Parts. If they don't have them, they can get them the next day for you. Like $1.80 a plug too.

Just for future reference, do not get the '-11' plugs. They come with a stock gap of .044. Get the regular BCPR7ES's which come with a .032-.034 gap. They are the exact same as the -11's but the gap is different, which means less stress on the actual tip when gapping. The BCPR7ES part number is 3330.

I was under the impression this was a better plug too until I compared it to the bcpr7es. If you look at the 2 side by side you will see the insulator of the BKR is actually longer which sits further inside the combustion chamber. You know what that means... it is exposed to higher combustion chambers which can lead to either pre-ignition and/or detonation.

Just a little more FYI for you guys.
