Default Quick Spark Plug Question...

Hi Guys,

It seams that most people on here favour the NGK PFR platinum plug over the NGK iridium plug, just wondered what the reason for that was?

I am currently running about 300bhp in my 98 sti typr r so was going to go for the PFR7B as it seams a popular choice.

Would a 0.7mm plug gap be advised?

Thank you for your help
Jimmy

The number 11 if its right on the end of the part number on a NGK spark plug is normally how much the plug is gapped at out the factory.
