Upgrade spark plugs for tune Mercedes
Confirm by Renntech, if you got their ECU tune, you better upgrade your spark plugs. Just order my Renntech spark plugs by NGK. Getting them install as soon as I get them.

Honestly, they did. But was hoping I didn't have to because I forgot to order it at the time of the tune. Some people say they do, some people say they don't. I wasn't concern until recently read about mis fire.

Anyways, that was my opinion when I ordered them.
Good luck on your track race. Can't wait to see you kick butt.

Yeah, saw the slipstream clip. Kick so butt, even your Porsche. Very impressive. Race a brand new M3 and M4 and love the feeling of kicking its butt, especially I had ownd a M3 and M6. Again good luck on your next race.

Plugs I've seen from RennTech are NGK part # SIZKBR8A8HS they are Alpina B7 plugs available from Amazon for $19.59/ea.
I've had them with my AMS tune for 11k miles so far no issues. Put down 590hp/726tq back in cool spring weather and most recently 562hp/685tq in 90* heat last week. Best dyno was 605hp/733tq but I don't have the graph
Press release on the plugs-

Really a no brainier to go colder plugs, adding this much hp/tq anyone with knowledge modifying engines would suggest a colder plug. Same as putting a small shot of nitrous on an n/a engine, you could get away with stock plugs but a cooler plug will lessen the chances of issues.

My dealer charged me $200 2 days ago when I had my Renntech spark plugs installed. Now my mind is at ease.

I think to me, the question is: Tuners like Renntech, weistec, not sure about AMS has there own branded spark plugs that is advertised as better/cooler then OEM spark plugs. If these tuners say use OEM plugs, why market aftermarket plugs as their own ?

My point was if tuners put their name on a aftermarket product from the manufacturer, it should mean they endorse the product. Let's say Renntech doesn't recommend spark plugs upgrade after a tune. Why would they endorse the spark plugs and recommend OEM plugs. That was my point. Sorry if I made it sound different.
I only had the Renntech/NGK plugs installed for a couple of days. Don't see or feel any difference, but with the misfire thread I've been reading. I opted to be safe than sorry.

Thank you and no problem. Not sure what you mean by pre grap, but the dealer installed them without any issues. Good luck.
