2deg colder than stock
Will going 2deg colder change the performance of my car without the nitrous?
I have not used the nitrous yet because i have not changed my plugs yet. I'm just curious.

well just to let you know, from my experience, my stock plugs were gapped at .040, i just changed them sunday in favor of ngk BR7EF gapped at .035. now, it could be just me, but SOMETHING is slightly different. i dont know what it is. but something feels different. i dont know that i would say the performance is less due to the coldness of the plug or the smaller gap. but something is slightly different. sorry man wish i could help ya more

It will foul faster, maybe won't idle as nice depending on your tune.
for your reference NGK BR7EF part # 3346 is what you'll be looking for. that is a 2 step colder non-projected tip plug. I dont believe there is a projected tip NGK plug in that heat range except for the iridium one, so you won't have any problems avoiding that.

so, not trying to hijack, is there any negative side effects to running these plugs, i just put them in, and they seem to work good. should i be leary of the long run with these, or just plan on changeing them every other oil change
