I found this

http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/techinf...tnumberkey.pdf


B stands for 14mm thread diameter
K stands for Hex size 5/8" Projected tip
R stands for resistor
7 is the heat range
E is the V-Groove Tip.
11 is 1.1 mm gap or (.044")


NGK suggest .004" decrease in gap for every +50hp. Stock gap is .044". I guess the 10 (.040") or the 9 (.036")


I guess BKR7E-9 is what I need.

BKR7 is gapped at .035

BKR7E-11 is gapped at .043

Tony, Since you run NA most of the time I would recomend you stay with the one step colder .043 gap. However if you ever try 100hp or more out of the nitrous I would recomend two steps colder .035 gap.

These plugs are cheep enough that you could get a set of two steps for the track and just swap them for track days.

Any down side to copper plugs? Just shorter life?

down side = shorter life
up side = better spark

For a 50 shot you dont need 1 step colder plugs. Just gap them to .042-.043 and you should be alright. that is what I have right now and I am running really good.

anything over 50 and you go to 1 step colder. 100 shot you will prolly need to go to 2 step colder
