Denso Iridium, I am a walking testament to these plugs and refuse to use anything else unless I'm using it for evaluation purposes.

Only prob... most places don't carry the 7's (not even Autobacs and they have rows & rows of spark plugs on display).... usually nothing higher than the 6's (where bkr5 is the "norm"). But a customer of our who we built a 12.5:1 comp LS/VTEC has been using the bkr6 plugs for 6 months now, from the hot summer to the cold fall nights now w/out any problems.

i built a 12.3:1 compression motor for a customer and he kept bitching about a misfire.... Changed the plugs to 7e's and problem was gone. Also he is a dumbass and he was running lean as **** for awhile so that didnt help...

These high compression motors are untamed beasts, every one is different and respondes different
