Default What kind of sparkplugs? :)

I'm looking for something with a little more zap. Anybody have suggestions on what I should use/try?

Default Well....

I'd probably stick with stock unless you're fairly modded, then go with something like the Denso Iridium IK22 which are a range colder than stock.

Default I'm no expert but...

Some say copper core plugs perform better in forced induction cars than Platinums. I have tried NGK BKR6E and they ran fine but I didn't really notice that much of a difference. The problem with copper plugs is you have to change them every 5-7K miles. I'm currently running the Denso Iridium IK22s.
