I actually took my spark plugs out today and was highly suprised to find how...um...strange they look. Is that just NGK does or is it a rotary type spark plug?

Thank you

Makes sense. I had someone tell me "shaving" them would give the car more power. Anyone know anything about that.

I have used "regular" style ones in my TII. Actually if you are running colder plugs like 10's or 11's they are the regular style.



I wouldn't screw with the plugs they work fine the way they are.

7's leading might burn more efficient but you can run 9's all around NA if you want with no probs.
