My recommendation for you here after, if you are not worrying about loosing some quality in AM reception (due to RI). However, FM and CD is not affected and I never could detect any RI disturbances neither re all the other on-board Computers......no codes......no nothing else - just Power.

Here we go

=> BERU SILVERSTONE S1K-Type. Heatrange 6, gapped to .035"

=> TAYLOR VERTEX PRO RACE THUNDERVOLTS 50 10.4mm


Now, that's a strong and reliable package / combo. May be it costs a little more than the usual, but for the VETTE, neither a price is too high, nor a way too far.

Just my .2CHF .

Joe. Good Luck Brother :seeya

Default Re: spark plugs (CPT Z06)

CPT Z06, hi,

With those, at heatrange 6, seemingly matches the stock heatrange -as advertized. I use those BERUs to full satisfaction. I checked them all out after every about 1'000km, and their "faces" looked really good, gap as well - as it should be.

With the combo I mentioned, idle run condition went even more smoothed-out, absolutely zero hesitation during full acceleration, no weird things to mention here. Again, a strong recommendation.

Hope my reply may assist you a bit.

Joe. :seeya
