Default Spark Plugs, your $.02 Cents and feedback

Hey guys, This is my first post here. After an exhausting search (possibly 10 minutes) void of any definitive results I thought I would start a new thread. What has your experience been with spark plugs? Which plugs does everyone prefer and why (Bosch, Champion, Denso, NGK, Pulstar etc).

Default Depending on coilpack version, you might want a smaller gap...

The crappy coilpacks on the AEB have a hard time sometimes under boost to get a spark across a big gap.

I run the 6E gapped at .028

Also any BT should start @.028. More pressure less gap

Default Anything that cause greatly increased cyl. pressure/comp. change- timing changes - higher boost

The more highly compressed the mixture the less gap needed. Dahlback said he got 30+ whp when he got the exact gap on his 5cyl. golf.
I have heard similar #'s from others depending on how far it was off before adjustment.
