Default Spark Plugs

Who's running NGK's (other brands?) and what actually do you reccommend as a spark plug to use?

I am running stock ac now, but next time plan to try NGK Iridium No. BKR5EIX, most on here seem to like these. $7 each at Advance Auto, gap at 0.50 I believe.

Yeah, all those plugs are I had AC's and then NGK's. But I took them out and threw them in the trash because they are . I think all spark plugs are so I just put some bolts in the plug holes instead. Now the car makes insane power, but so much so that I think maybe the fuel pumps couldn't keep up? Since I put the bolts in in place of the plugs, the car won't start up. So I'm guessing it must be a fuel problem.





Seriously dude, how can a spark plug be BS? Do some of them not actually spark?

NGK Iridium TR55IX are what I use (as recommended by Corey Henderson)...who the hell knows what HADI uses or why or why anyone cares...for unmodified engines I would suspect the stock plugs are absolutely fine...for that matter they're probably fine in mine as well..but what the hell...I had some extra $$$ so I bought some high dollar plugs...lord knows I couldn't afford to spend the $4K for a head job...so I went with the next best thing. LoL
