Default I am running the NGKs iridiums and I like them, but I am only stage 2 so your setup is probably

react differently.

Default Yes, either work fine. With copper plugs you need to change them more frequently though...

every 5-10k miles.

Default I ran these for a while until my engine started misfiring worse and worse. Bosch Platins solved it

They seemed to be ok at first. The misfires under load got progressively worse over about 4 months and 3 sets of NGK BKR7E's. I went through the normal troubleshooting swapping coilpacks, plugs, POS, even the fuel injector. Then I put a new coilpack in and still had the misfires.

Once I put the Bosch Platin side fire plugs (F5DP0R) in my car ran perfectly. It could have just been my car but I don't plan on running them again.

Default Yep, just installed a set yesterday. Gapped 'em to .026" They work great, just have to change them

more often than plat's. But at 1.70 (PureMS) each, I can't complain :-)
