Default READ: Installed new NGK BKR6E spark plugs
install was very straightforward and easy, took maybe 30 minutes, but only because i'm slow and methodical.

I found the plugs at O'Reilly here in Houston.

Prior to the new plugs, i had a misfire/hesitation between 2600-3000 rpm under high load and moderate to full throttle. this is GONE. i managed to get a SLIGHT hiccup but only in 5th at like 40 mph under WOT.

Car seems to run much smoother/stronger in the upper RPM's.

Best 6 bucks you can spend on your car!

Default What was the gap on the platinum plugs you pulled out?
Some people have reported similar improvement by just regapping the OEM plugs.

Default It probably is the gap. The stockers were around .02"...
Not to mention that they were in there way too tight...that can't be good..

Any noticable difference in idle roughness?
