Default Spark Plugs for ECS Kit

Hey guys, I thought the ECS S/C kit came with the required spark plugs for the upgrade, apparently I was mistaken haha. Which spark plugs do I need to go buy today?

I know its supposed to be 2 stages colder, but am not sure which stage that will be, what gap size, tip material, etc. Thanks!

I would call them ask them with the system & RWHP you are at. To what plug set up to run in the car. I know in the c5 power levels diff plug is good for diff power range in the car.. Just my 2 cents. That way you get it from the horse's mouth.

I wasn't trying to be a smart azz on this with you man. Just most of these guys have played around with at least a dozen are more plugs in there set ups. Just to find just that little better edge, but the bad thing is alot will not tell you that little edge.. Robert
