Default Best Plug for 550+

What is the best NGK plug for over 550whp? I was running a 9 heat range plug last year but forgot the part number.

See my thread and the second post under this thread. That should help.

b18bturbo....would you recommend that also for someone going turbo but boosting lower numbers and making less horsepower, or will I be fine with stock NGK's?

for low hp the bcpr7es11 is most common plug

the 5671-a plugs are usually good for racing only not really used on street that often. mostly a race type plug. i used to run the 9s 10s and 11s

i would start with a 8 and work your way down. but 8 should be plenty for your setup.

i'm assuming i would need the 8's then.. i'm curently running bcpr7es's and i am misfireing/stumbling badly up top at 75%-100% throttle, this was only at about 10 psi on my stock gsr.. they were gapped at .030 as well.. when i regapped them to about .020, my full throttle was smooth, but idle sucked real bad..

bump..

you should not be having a problem w/ the 7's @ .030 on a stock GSR. There is something else wrong w/ ur set up then.

Keep us posted cause I am curious. My thought was 9's but 8's might be OK.

Good luck.
