I will be running these:

R5671A-7 (stock number 5587)


The reason I'm running these is because I'll have some higher dome pistons installed.

bosch 4227 plugs. $1.99 each, dyno proven on my motor Jeff at IB did a dyno on these also., change them every 10k miles or so. Works great with lots of compression and high lift cams.

PFR7G-11 NGK platinum

These are the absolute best plugs for an all motor Honda IMO. They come stock on JDM ITR motors. I will use them untill the day I die.

Sure way to throw away hp.
I cant count the number of pistons I've used but none have come close to
my spark plugs.

Last I checked, you DONT regap iridium plugs. cant is more likely since they use
the 0.4mm center electrode(which is where the gain is from). Its the same reason
i use the stock NGK platinums is because the 0.6&lt;?&gt;mm center electrode.

You guys think just because copper may be a better conductor that it makes a
better spark, but thats not always the case.

I had Denzo Irridiums (SP) until one of them got blown out of the motor. Then while inspecting the damage, another one was on its way out. They were 3 months old. The threads on these things are really soft, apparently. I replaced all of them with NGK plats.
