Spark plugs with a supercharger

Like title says I need to know what plugs you guys are running with stage 3 weistec blowers,I have 3k miles on my stage 3 n went thru 6 sets of plugs,just installed a fresh set 3 days ago as I had a racing event today and car ran smooth when I installed,started car this morning after cold start car started missing again fml
No check engine light or anything just a miss idling,car runs strong when wot.

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.

The customer service at weistec has taken a plunge. Supposedly they are under staffed and are having "problems" with there phone lines.

I used brisk plugs, regardless a snap on thin wall socket should work for you.Doesn't have to be a "spark plug" specific socket, all that it does is holds the spark plug in the socket without falling out.

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 originally had a Koken 5/8" deep 3/8" drive that fits ... as Dub says, it is not a spark plug specific version & I used a piece of rubber tube to grab the plug.
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.

An 8" long piece of 5/16" fuel hose pushed over the plug ceramic, screw the plug in until it seats, then torque with the socket.
NGK used to sell (gift) a moulded tube for it ... a long time ago.
