Used set of plugs, NGK TR55ix the iridium tip. I used them for 400 miles and then before I took my car for tuning the tuner said to get different ones. So, they are low mileage. I used anti sieze on them and dielectric grease. Seems a waste to throw them out for so few miles when they can last a long time.
These are the ones Strano sells on his site.
$30 shipped?

No the A/F ratio was bad, I think the plugs were insurance for handling more power. I'm not really an expert on ignition. Jeremy just said my car was 'super lean' and he seemed surprised at how far lean it was, so he added "over 20%" to the maps. I just said "OK you're the expert" and let him figure it out. Runs better now, that's all I care about.
