Default Spark plugs question.

Thanks to everyone for looking, I tried searching but did not find many help to my case.
The question is what plugs and gapping would you guys recomend for my car, motor is a stock D16y8 with the usual bolt ons i/h/e. The car is used for time trials, track days, HPDEs, so the engine will see a lot of time at WOT.
I see that many of you prefer BKR7E-11 but I'm not sure this would work for my particular aplication.

Again thank's for looking and any help is gratly apreciated .

the bkr7es11 plugs are for a b-series application. not sure about them working in a d series. get the plugs for the d16y8 application. im sure they're good for a stock y8. and when gapping, i think they are pre gapped at .044. for a stronger spark, u can close it to around .040

stronger spark yes, but more efficient...no. Stock gap will suffice. For NA applications you pretty much always want to open the gap up to expose the spark more to the mixture... but you need an upgraded ignition of some sort to make that work (to arc the gap and to keep it from getting blown out).

For you, since you're gonna be running the car a lot at WOT...you should probably get one step colder than stock plugs and leave it at that. stock gap, stock NGK.
