Which spark plugs and what to gap them at?

I have been trying different plugs such as the iridium NGK's and bpr7es and 8's what would be best. im in florida close to sea level if that is helpful at all. Thanks guys

Don't change plugs unless your current ones are fouled.

Once they foul, go with BPR7ES gapped to .026. If those sputter, then try BR8ES or BPR8ES gapped to .026.

Anywhere between .23-.27 will work. If you crank the boost up shorten the gap or step up one plug colder such as the BPR8ES. I've run 28lbs on the BPR7ES gapped to .24 and never had any ignition problems.

If you don't want to change the plugs very often the iridiums are just fine. However the copper BPR's are extrememly cheap and will last you quite awhile.
