Anybody here running colder plugs?

As in the NGK BKR7E-11? I was wondering how they worked out.

I picked a set of them, and a set of standard BKR6E-11, up and am trying to decide which to run for the shootout.

How do the BKR6Es look when you pull them out for a tuneup?

I remember Jason saying he used 7s but changed them very often.

I haven't ever changed the plugs yet on the BJ engine (I put new ones in for the swap though of course).

I guess I can decide once I've seen them but on my OEM engine they always looked pretty good, except after #4 let go.

I just didn't know what the concensus was, if they're a good idea once modded like I am or not.

I'm all for testing them out and seeing if they perform any better but without knowing before hand, I'm not sure I want to put them in for the shootout.

So nobody is running a colder set of plugs? Wow.

I have run the colder plugs but really cannot give any answer whether or not they helped. My engines blew up anyway.

That's not a good sign

You don't need to be running colder plugs unless you're torching electrodes on the plugs from them getting too hot.

Unless you're running MAD boost, I wouldn't even suggest switching to a colder plug.

You can try them, but you'll find you'll probably have less power, and worse mileage.

I ran them in the starion, they would coke up if i used the car for commuting for a week. Fortunately, that only happened once

Ya, I did the plugs today and the 6Es (oem range) looked absolutely perfect, so I just put another set of those in. They looked so good I'm probably just going to return the 7Es.
