Yep, I am also running ngk bkr7eix-11. I used the same gap that came with the stock plugs. You should have no problem with it.

krazyjvilled are you running nitrous? If so, how much shot are you running?

how do the colder plugs affect the engine when you are not actively using nitrous?

I am running 65 shot also but mine is manual. I was thinking about going to 75 shot but I think i going to buy a AFC before I do that, just to be on the safe side. People always tell that the stock block can't take it...

It handles it fine. WTF is an AFC? Do you mean wideband AFR gauge? I rn a 75 shot on my manual from February to June. Ny-trex + Dynotune FTMFW

yes, you can get those spark plugs on ebay for cheaper... they are pretty decently expensive plugs, but they are worth it... i ran with 2 step colder autolight coppers at first and they were TERRIBLE for regular driving...

as for the size of the shot... ive heard of tc's running 100 shots... tho i would not recommend that... i would go above 75, but ull be fine at 75...

ecko, im actually glad my window switch didnt work... i much prefer being able to turn it on and off myself, incase i want to shoot in first gear(which the car handles fine) or if i want to go up to redline ... its kinda nice being able to control it... i have it ran to a up and down switch that i hold in my hand... so i can keep it at WOT the whole time and just use the switch in my hand to turn it on and off

are u bonestock? i dont know for sure but i would think having ur exhaust changed so that u can move all that extra power out faster would be advantageous, but im not really sure, i would think u would still be fine at 75, especially if u are fine now at 65...

a 75 shot will get u about 66 hp to the wheels, and probably like 80 or 85 torque to the wheels

A little over 200whp/210tq something around there bone stock. If you ever get the car dyno'd the dyno's calibration and the type of dyno will factor into those numbers as well.

With a 50, 65 and definitely a 75 shot ou should be able to take a moderately N/A Civic Si with ease. If you can drive you have a fighting chance bone stock until the higher RPM's w/o nitrous. You can take a stock WRX....not an STi but something is better than nothing lol.

Upgrade s couple of things to increase airflow though the exhaust.

Once you spray your exhaust has a distinct sound to it; some people know what it is and they'll label you a "cheater".

lol thanks ecko... and i wasnt as clueless as i maybe sounded with that window switch after all since it WASNT working huh? lol.... but ya i been learning from all the hands on shiznit i have had to go thru lol....

im looking at valve body upgrade for my auto now!!

and ya, those people that call u cheaters are the same people with turbo's in their car pushing an extra 150 hp because of the same exact "cheating" techniques basically... just laugh as u pass them by lol
