Default zex spark plugs

this guy i know absoutely swears by zex spark plugs for any forced induction car..he thinks God invented them. they dont need gapped, and you dont have to mess with heat ranges and other crap..

ive always sworn by ngk no matter what.. and i already have ngk 7's and 8's ready for my new setup which will be finished here shortly. was just wondering what you all think about zex plugs because i rarely see any honda guys using them.

Technically they're just as good if not better than any NGK plug, people are just too lazy to order plugs.

Personally, I run NGK 7's on my setup and they work fine.

IMO, these are junk. I had issues with them. Changed out for NGKs and it fixed it. There really isn't a reason to use anything but NGK's. $1.77 a plug and you can get them at Advance Auto.

not disagreeing with you but, I wish someone out there would just spend a day on the dyno testing all the little thing so see what kinda power/affects really come out of them. you know like spark plugs, fuel additives, wires (MDS vs stock), etc. there are so many things

It will act like it's rev limiting. The ignition will break up like paris hilton. (Meaning a lot)
