Just go to an autoparts store and have them look up your car or engine.

Its all down to most of peoples opinions

Some say the Platinum 4's are the best (bosch) or NGK Irdium IX are the best

do the Iridium IX advanced and autozone have them in stock your looking at 5/per plug

I personally have these but the step colder version (supercharging soon)

i am running the iridiums as well, they last longer, and seem to run better than the platinums, but i am running one step colder as well because of NX. but i remember buying them alittle while back from westbury nissan in NY, they do performance work at the shop so they carry them.

dont go by part #

NGK has the same part number for their spark plugs w/ the tips that can be screwed on or off, and there is a small difference in the tips, the only way to tell if you get the correct ones is either stocking number they also put or opening the package.

but i belive its a BKR7ES or soemthing like that (dont quote me on that i just woke up)

the best spark plugs to purchase for performance and costs low are the NGK Iridum IX. It was tested on a dyno with the pulstar pulse plugs (25 a peice!) and more. Look here....

Sparkplugs.com has received a lot of questions in regards to the performance gains and reliability of newer spark plug technology. They decided the best way to decide if some of the newer technology is just a gimmick, or if they have some true performance benefits would be to have them dyno`d. Therefore we took seven different types of spark plugs (Champion stock nickel, NGK nickel, NGK single platinum, NGK double platinum, NGK IX iridium, Denso iridium, and Pulstar pulse plugs), sent them to an independent dyno shop, and thought we would share the information with you.

The test vehicle was a stock 2005 Dodge Neon SRT-4, provided by Manny Gomez, a member of SRTForums.com (screen name: hawkable). The test was performed on a Mustang Dyno. We completed three runs for each plug in a cold, warm and hot state. We then averaged these runs to find the final average horsepower and torque numbers. The link below leads to the page containing all the dyno sheets. All results are based on the vehicle factory-specified gap setting of .050", except for the Pulstar plug, which had a maximum manufacturer recommended gap of .045"

After testing, the Pulstar plug had a horsepower advantage, having both the highest peak horsepower (205.95hp) and the highest average horsepower (204.04hp). The NGK Iridium IX showed the second highest average horsepower (203.78hp), and highest average torque (230.27 lb-ft), however, the NGK Iridium IX also displayed the most reliable and consistent horsepower figures. The Denso iridium showed the highest peak torque (235.96 lb-ft), third highest average horsepower (203.67hp), and second highest peak horsepower (205.51hp) and average torque (229.74 lb-ft).

that should answer your questions

Sooner, if you don't like seeing these threads don't reply to them. Your posts about searching first are futile, there will always be someone else around the corner posting a already covered topic.

So just because people still won't search, you don't think it's okay to tell people to search?

They obviously already don't read the stickies, if we don't correct them when they do stuff like this how will they ever learn?

Then again, even if we do correct them...they still tend not to learn.
