What spark plug do you use on your 4th gen Max?

What's up everybody, i'm just trying to get an idea on what everybody is using on their 4th gen Maxima's. Can you guy list what sparkplug you are using and if you are N/A and mods, Turbo, or S/C. And also if you have the part numbers and where you got it. I went looking around the shops here and they are not so good with cross referencing sparkplugs. I don't plan on using the factory spec NGK sparkplugs because they are so expensive here and most of the shop don't have it in stock. Thanks guys in advance, also if this has been posted, can somebody post a link here.

I wouldn't worry about them... Bosch is a reputable company... I doubt you will have any serious problems with them, especially having them responsible for "blowing" your engine.

I'd use OE or Iridium IX (about $6 each) personally.

I'm using the Iridium IX (BKR7EIX-11 gapped to 0.040") with my 11psi V2.

Thanks guys... For you guys running the NGK V-power plugs, do you have a part number.....they are asking for like $14 a piece for the NGK platinum here. That's the cheapest from Auto value, others was asking as much as $21 a piece.
