Mine is only running stage one, but it kept blowing no1 spark plug with NGKs, so I changed to PJ Motorsports Ł25 set, no problems at all since then, hope this helps.

I have the ngk irridium (spellin ) plugs but they did cost me near Ł60 odd quid thereabouts and have been fine so far but are exspensive for how a cossie a can eat plugs lol

.25 or something rings a bell? Not quite sure from memory. I was running about 28psi boost

new plugs about every 2000 miles though. At least they were cheap!

Its a very good plug mate so if you can put up with the lumpy start its worth it, alot of people go for c59`s but i`ve been told that there not that good for a 330/350 brake cossie, more a 220 brake rst engine kind of plug

Have used pp8's for years and no problems gapped at 0.6mm

Run same gap and plugs on greys at 30 psi never missed a beat

I use 57's in my 200bhp rst aswell.

Use platinum tipped Motorcraft PP8's in my cossie, running similar spec as you.
