nope, our plugs are extremely cold from the factory. Some people have re gapped them though. But what they gap them too seems inconsistent. Mine are still stock.

How long do our stock spark plugs last? When should I consider changing them?

thats 75K on a stock engine though I'd expect them to last about half that on a bar of boost
