Go to Kragens and order NGK BKR7E and gap them to about .28-.30 and boost. The 7 in BKR7E is the rating of the plug. Stock is 5, 6 is for intense N/A applications and 7 is for boost...8+ is for people who are crazy. Im not going to give you anymore info! Research lazyasses!

when you go to get them remember that NGKs the higher the number the colder. I think other plug makers are opposite.

if you go to NGKs website they have some good info about plugs.

agreed. ngk bkr7e gapped to .3 is going to be your best bet and go from there.

best luck i've had in the past with FI is using copper 7 series NGK. so i put in a vote for these BKR7Es too!
