      Re: need opinions on spark plugs

      Just started carrying the Pulstar Plugs... doubt anyone here could afford them though... I want to try them to see the hype, but at $25 A PLUG that's not worth it to me... Not even on the RB once I get it...

      I use NGK's Iridium heat range 8 (BKR8EIX)..... they run great and lasted alot longer than regular coppers. My first set lasted about 30,000km before I started getting slight misfires. Replaced the plugs at about $8/plug and it runs great again. I don't recomend heat range 8 for non-turbo cars though, stick with the stock heat range which I think is 6.

      are the 8s supposed to be the "colder plug" deal?
      You can not commit crimes in a Aveo. Its just not fast enough.

      Yes for NGK at least, the higher the number the colder the plug. So the 8's are 2 ranges colder than the stock ones.

      I was going to mention the Pulstar BE-1 plugs, but EXTREME 2 beat me to it. A buddy of mine (with a Honda Element-teeheehee- claims he's incogneto in it), said he noticed a big improvement in throttle response with them. At 25 bucks a pop, they better be giving a big increase in horsepower and torque, or the horsepower to dollar ratio would be going the wrong way. Stick with the NGK's. Ever think about bumping up to an 8.5 mm wire?

      Those Pulstar plugs seem like a great idea, but they're really expensive to buy. I think I'm just going to stick with the NGK BKR6EIX plugs at $6 per plug.
