Best spark plugs to get. OEM or another brand
Hello group. It's that time for my BRZ to get some new plugs and I was just seeing if OEM works just fine to replace or is there any better ones out there. I'm running E85 on NA engine but hoping to go supercharger over the next year. Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

ALL STEPS COLDERRRR~
Jk. The consensus on the forum seems to be to stick with the OEM plugs. Unless going really high performance (like track built monsters), the OEM plugs work perfectly fine with the 86 platform's forced induction applications. |

Once upon a time going with a better plug was a great way to improve power. Nowadays the OEM plugs are far better than even the best performance plugs of old. No real advantage to "better" plugs unless you are burning off the old ones.

stock plugs gapped a little tighter have no problem with 700+whp and 30-40psi of boost.

Denso makes our stock iridium plugs so they're good to go.
