Platinum plugs retain more heat than copper.
YOu are not doing your motor any good by running those.

BKR7E for all F/I, NOS apps.

F/I setups normally use these copper NGK plugs.

ngk brk7e-11s part number 1263 (gap .045) at advanced auto parts... 6097 is the same plug with a smaller gap size, i believe .035

It doesnt matter which one you get, you can always gap them yourself.

The gap isn't the only difference. The 6097 has the V-Power electrode as well. See here for more info https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=510127

Everybody says to run the BKRE7's but the problem with those is that when you gap them to .028 or so it puts too much angle on the grounding bit and that's bad. Plus the v groove in the electrode is a hot spot.

I've found the BCPR7ES plugs are gapped a good bit closer stock and that when you close the gap to .028 the grounding strip is more horizontal to the electrode and they don't have a V in them to create the detonation inducing hot spot.

The BCPR7ES is the plug to run.

Don't mean to jack thread. Just been checking out some Nology's products. What about their Silverstone plugs? They say they use silver instead of copper and its a better conductor than copper and so will create a stronger spark.....
