Default Spark plug recommendations please.

What plugs do you use? Also what would be a good spark plug for a car aroung 330bhp?

Any help would be great many thanks steve.

When I bought my saff it was running 071's and it was sound

Now running denso irridiums and there is no noticable difference so I'd go for the 7 quid jobbies

Found the 071's wear out faster / needed changing more often then the denso's.

Nowt wrong with the 071, they are a tough plug, but IF mapped and running perfectly fuelling wise you will get better running with iridiums, I noticed a big difference when switching to a group a coil and iridiums, much crisper feeling engine, more eagerness low down, smoother idle, smoother elsewhere as well.
