Just looking to see what kind of plugs and gap all the Procharger guys are running here. I've been waiting to finish a motor build up to put the blower in but I can't wait any longer. I am just gonna toss in the headers, blower and misc bolt ons for now. Since the headers will be off I figured I toss on a set of new wires and plugs. What plug and what gap? This will be on a bolt on car with a low boost D1SC head unit.

NGK TR6 set at .035 may blow-out at high RPM. I gap mine at .025, this is also what Kenne Bell recommends. http://www.kennebell.net/techinfo/ge...C_KitParts.pdf

I am no expert on spark plugs, but I have always heard the wider the gap, the larger and higher voltage will be the arc. It takes higher voltage to jump a larger gap. I would always run as large of a gap as you can without having the spark blow out from the boost. Bob

The cooler plug transfers more heat to the cooling system.
I spoke to NGK and based on my conversation with them , I went to a TR7 IX, iridium, #3690, which I gapped at .035.
I was running the TR6, but wanted to try a slightly cooler plug.

So far so good, but I've only got about 300 miles on them, and a few 4th gear pulls, but they run great so far.
I pulled one to take a peek, and it looked perfect, no indication that it may be prone to fouling.
