All depends on your setup. If you're running a high compression setup or a setup with forced induction, then you want a colder plug (BKRE-6 or preferably 7 if you can find them). If you have a stock motor, the standard BKRE-5 plugs will work just fine. Same goes with wires... thicker wires (8.5mm - 10mm) will help out a little bit with more of a setup, but otherwise you can just stick with standard size plug wires or 8mm plug wires.

i'm running NGK BKR7E plugs (for turbo) and nology hotwires:


i think the wires give me too hot of a spark, so i'm about to sell them and get some ngk blues. NGK makes the best ignition components IMO

stock NGK's and MSD wires.

Those splitfires are a waste IMO.....

think about it. Electricity takes the path of least resistance, right???

Well, when it splits off 3 or 4 or however many ways it does....disrupts the path
