I don't think every members here use different spark plugs but the OEM. Only me is running Denso IKH20 iridium power plugs, to me it works perfectly and very smooth for daily drive.
You can check this Denso K20HR-U11, it is a nickel and has the same specs like stock ones
Thread size 14mm
Hex size 16mm (5/8")
Reach 26.5mm (1.04")
Gap 1.1mm (0.44")
Heat Range 20
Hope this help buddy.

I used to run silverstone spark plugs in some of my forced induction cars in the past and they worked great from what I can remember. They have a silver electrode instead of copper or iridium. They are made by Nology....maybe you can check them out and if you decide to try them....definitely let us know how they work. Funny..... I forgot all about those until I saw this thread. lol

the general rule on heat ranges is 1 step colder for every 100hp nitrous shot. stay away from iridium plugs. i personally ran NGK plugs in my race cars and some of my daily drivers. if i ever spray my ISF I will run NGK plugs in it. Now they will not last as long as iridium but will perform much better. you may notice a little harder start and it may run a little rougher with "nitrous plugs" in it but when you activate the kit, it will run like a scalded ape.

If things were to go bad, like a fuel solenoid sticking the NGK plugs (non iridium) will melt the plug and kill that hole before it damages anything else.

People have run iridium plugs with luck using the same concept, 1 step colder for every 100 hp. but if things go wrong like the fuel solenoid sticking closed, the iridium plug can take that abuse. so that will lead to the next weak spot. Either flame the head or flame the piston.
