Default Spark plug replacement recommendation
Hey guy i have a 16 Z06 with 10,300 miles. I am increasing the boost to 13 to 14 with a 2300 blower and trying to figure out if i need new and different spark plugs? I typically run the Brisk plugs but I do not even know if that is required.
I don’t know these cars as well yet.

I would go with a one step colder plug. Sorry I don't know the specific numbers for you, but that should be available somewhere here on this forum. Just use the search and a little bit of time should help you out there.
