Spark Plug choice

I have searched for diff posts and sites concerning new spark plugs for my 97 GSX' (Lightly modified). New stock turbo, boost at 15psi, down pipe w/ 3" back, type S bov, etc...

I plan to buy new spark plugs 2nite, and im not sure on which ones to buy. Its between these 2 :

NGK BPR6ES & NGK BPR7ES

I know the (7es) is one range colder, but I heard I might experience more back fire from it. as of now I don't plan on adding too much hp (need more gas money...GRR) so what would u do?

Also, what is the difference between BPR and BP?

Re: Spark Plug choice

BPR7ES, make sure you check the gap. this is probably the most recco'd plug out there, just make sure you change them every 10k or so. never heard of backfire problems from these.

I'm sorry but spending $50 for spark plugs is just CRAZY!

Re: Spark Plug choice

Here this is from my chemisty book (never thought I would be using chemisty )
Best to worst..
Silver, Copper, Gold, Zinc, Platinum, Iron, Tin, etc.

My platinums misfired after 2k miles. From then it has been NGK!!

Re: Spark Plug choice

Call Napa, say you need part number 6953 for NGK. Those are the BKR5E-11 (one range hotter for N/Ts).
