i bought the thin spark socket from racing beat. i am gonna go with judge ito's recommendations. he hasn't pointed me wrong yet. to save $100 is not worth it to risk damaging my $6000 engine .............



judge ito told me the problem with non rotary plugs is that the porcelain can crack and the plug will fall apart and damage the engine!

From what I understand the B*EGV plugs last about 5000 miles or so before they need to be changed, swapping them out every other oil change (~4000 miles for me) seems like a good idea. What do you do Stephen? It sure would be cheap insurance since they are so inexpensive.

i don't even know why i bought them but i have BR10EIX plugs sitting on my desk. they will be going in my friends TII's

I use NGK 10.5 race plugs. The car runs decent when cold and they help prevent ignition breakup. They foul out after a few thousand miles so I just clean them.

what model plugs

T66RX7

I also run the B10EGV's with no problems. I have dynoed 497rwhp with them and my engine builder also runs the same plugs. They are 2 stroke snowmobile plugs or something like that. I get them at my local Yamaha dealer...

Well, I've got about 6000 on my current set and eventhough they are running great, i'll prob change them pretty soon like around 8K miles just to know I have a good set in there. I'd imagine the MSD probably helps keep them clean though, without it they might not live as long. From what I've heard the "race" plugs have a short life span of about 5-6K for a daily driver which is one reason I never bought them. I dont want to replace $120 worth of plugs every few months. Neverknow though, different peoples cars are different so maybe with a MSD to help clean them off the race plugs might last fairly well also.



I've never heard anything bad about EGV plugs like the tips falling off. As a matter of fact they were recommended by Chris Anderson (Chrispeed) and Rice Racing among others. They both use them in thier customers cars.

My local old time speed shop will sell BUR9EQ's for $12.75 CDN. I have to buy a box of 10.



They also will get me the racing plugs for $45 CDN. Luckily I can buy them individually.



That's $8.66 and $30.57 for you south of the border types.
