Default NGK Plugs

I've been trying to find a set of ZFR7J-11's but the highest I can find is ZFR6J... I've checked a bunch of sites and can't find them. I don't want to switch to Champion plugs, but if I can't find NGK's, I might just have to...

Factory Honda civic wires are Sumitomo.

Not sure where the myth got started that NGK makes the OEM Honda spark plug wires.

You can get whole oem tune up kits for the cost of expensive wires, and Sumitomo wires are arguably better than most $100+ wire sets.

This article provides proof that OEM > all when it comes to wires. I would speculate that maybe the Spoon wires would be close. (And I think they cost $200-300 a set)

Easy sauce:

Finding a particular model might be difficult. It's likely that older one has been discontinued. From browsing the interwebz that seems to be the case.

If you type that number into the sparkplugs.com search, it tells you that the Denso IK22 is comparable to that discontinued model.

Yeah... ebay didn't even have them... I just don't know what plugs the big HP guys use since I can't even find anything for 200hp...

I'm curious to know in what order the plug wires were tested. Since the only delay between runs was to change the plug wires (which takes all of 2 minutes), the oil will be hotter for subsequent runs, and the engine will make more power.
