I like the BR8ES´s too. I think that probably they´ll tend to last longer w/o fouling at .023" or .024", especially if you´re blowing out the hotter 7´s at high boost #´s and a big gap. I put a fresh set of 8´s in last night, gapped at .026" and the engine runs super smooth.

All we did was install fresh plugs and I cleaned the air filter and turned up the boost by 1# and we got an increase of 14 HP as extrapolated by the DataLogLab program. That was with zero knock on 91 octane. We didn´t touch the maps at all. I love these plugs.

which is why i'll stick to race gas. I would love to get some E85 on pump here....

why dont you try another company then?
