turbo spark pulug and gap
You really should run the cooler plug in the fall and winter and the hotter plug in the spring and summer.

Got an Idea for you. Every plug is gonna react different to your setup/psi/ compression/elevation. Since plugs are so cheap go buy a couple 2/3 different sets with different heat ranges. Gap them all around 28-30 make sure they are all the same. Inbetween a couple runs switch them out unless your plugs are a PITA to get to.
Be sure you have the tune close before you start switching the plugs out. Check for adv and disadv of each one like knock, hp/tq #s, driveability, color and any other misc things a good tuner would check for.
This is just an idea and I'm by no means an expert on this but only seems a good way to make a right choice on the plugs.

thats what i would do, i have used tr6 and br7ef and even stock plugs!
on our turbo truck stock plugs couldnt handle any more than 10-12psi it seems
then we went tr6 at 24 gap to 21lbs
on my fairmont i go back and forth between tr6 and br7ef, im liking the tr6 better, for over 20lbs i need to gap under 25
just my experience
br7s are usually damn close to 25-28 right out of the box usually works good for up to 20psi like said, ill +1 stamp that lol
if your car runs like **** with them rough idle and whatnot that isnt a mechanical issue, try the tr6's

I ask anyone to give a reason to run a tr6 plug over a 7-8 heat range plug on a forced induction car. I always say start cold and work your way back down to a hotter plug. What some don't realize some setups I've done require a 7 plug NA.
It's all going to depend on compression (dynamic and static), boost levels, charge temp and fuel being used to determine plug choice but 9/10 times all of the 500-700hp cars end up with a 7-8 plug to keep the heat range happy. Anyone that can properly read plugs can tell if a plug is too cold or too hot. As power and cylinder pressure goes up naturally so does heat which will require colder plugs. Plugs aren't expensive so I ask why take the risk of detonation with a hot plug in your power adder car?
