We (Magnuson) supply NGK ILZKR7B11 plugs with our Hammer kit and have not experienced any issues. The ILZKR7B11 have a 16mm hex (OEM is 14mm) so you need a 16mm socket that is 20.7mm or less outside diameter to fit down the cam-cover sleeve.
You should be able to get a set of ILZKR7B11 for under US$80 with a bit of hunting.

Before gapping, check this out:
http://www.ngk.com/learning-center/a...g-instructions
and
http://www.ngk.com/learning-center/a...i-gap-my-plugs
I run mine at 0.80mm (0.031"), but some of our installers run a little less (0.70-0.75).

Ah, I see. I'd live chat with Snap-on on Mon and see if they carry one or have a lead to source one. If they don't have it you may well be out of luck. They may be out there as an mfr dealer tool but you'll have to hunt one down.

I just have header,exhaust,tune.Using one step colder plugs. Check with snap on, there sockets are thinner than other manufactures, so you can get it in the tube to torque down the plugs.

I have since found two other proper spark-plug sockets - one is from a local (Au) supplier & the other is a China supplier that we now buy in bulk and offer as part of a workshop installer kit.
I have been told that http://www.mactools.com/en-us/Specia...rk-Plug-Socket fits, but I suggest you call them and confirm.
However - most installing workshops simply buy a cheap (PepBoys, Napa, autozone or similar) 5/8" socket and turn it down.

NGK used to sell (gift) a moulded tube for it ... a long time ago.
