BPR6EF? for plugs or go TR6IX iridium? bearing in mind these cost £2.50 each and the iridiums about £9?

worth the cost?

I run the copper NGK's they are fine. I think you should get 30,000 from them. The iridiums may not be worth the extra ££.

I got my magnecors from LSV and fitted fairly easily. Only real issue was the heat shields rattle a bit as they don't fit as snug as with the original leads. Oh that and don't do what I did and test it with 1 bank installed - boy do those headers heat up quick - nearly stuck my arm to the block when I went to change the 2nd bank Long thin arms and strong fingers help when doing the last 2 on the drivers side nearest the firewall - very tight for space in there.

I used Taylor 8mm Spiro-Pro wires, and TR55IX iridiums from NGK
Think it was about 90 bucks the lot from Summit Racing. Iridiums are great, and give a smoother Idle. I use em in the Vette too

I'm using Moroso leads, although not using LS1 coils. Crappy Bosch coils instead.

I was using nice cheap TR6 plugs, which are the equiv of BPR6EFS I think.

More recently I switched to a NGK Platinum PFR7B, which is a normal plug with a washer instead of the taper.

And yes, they work fine.

No difference over the cheapy TR6 though, I just wanted a cooler plug for when I was doing the standing mile recently.
