NGK PFR6Q or Denso IK20 gapped to 0.29.

You need to go to colder plugs gapped at 0.28 once you are more than 50HP over stock.

XCLR8TT, I am more than 50 over stock, soon to be a lot more. Should I go with the pfr6q?

Should I change the gap to .28 myself? Thanks!

You should probably go to a colder plug than the stock PF6RQ. Yes, you should gap the plugs, they come out of the box at around 0.35. Make sure you get a disk-type gap gauge, not the wire type. I personally run IK22 Iridiums gapped at 0.29.

just get the NGK BKR7E. One heat range colder and gapped. to .028 will due nice. Plus they are only a couple of bucks and will go every other oil change.

Due to advice from my local dealer(70 miles away) I changed to the new Bosch Fusion plugs that are both platinum and Iridium with a 0.28 gap and am duely impressed. Another benefit is that you fon't have to order them like Denso's as they are available at any Auto zone for $17 a piece

why would you pay $17 a peice for a plug? The ngk's are about $1.50 a peice and work great. Then just change them about every 15k miles.
