Best Spark Plug for boosted Z

DataStream18 · 08-08-2011, 08:34 AM

I looked at Roffle Waffle's thread about OEM spark plugs and it made me think of if those are the best choice for those of us who are boosted.

So what ones do you guys use?

According to Hans @ ESS, the OEM plugs is the best for my option(VT1-445).

+1

and that what I ordered (@39k miles, even though I have not done a visual inspection of my old plugs yet)

i stuck with stock plugs...... the price as usual with an ///M made my eyes water but they seem to perform very well with boost.....

i do however think the ignition coils "could" be our weak spot, so we'll see.....
i was thinking about buy the HPF vented cam cover to help loose some heat from the coil locations.
