Default Zex Plugs And New Coils?

I tried the NKG plugs and I kept getting misfires, and tried several different gaps as well... Although inbetween clearing out the cel, I did notice a power increase under boost. So I finally pulled them and went back to the stock plugs.

My question is 2 parts. Has anyone tried the zex plugs? I see them on ebay all the time, and they claim that their triple electrode spark plugs are designed for boost.

Also I was wondering if anyone has any information regarding a stronger coil pack for a stronger spark?

Yes. You need to install the AEM C2DI and motorcycle coils. Its not that expensive and works great. The whole setup will run you less than $500.

I have heard that they are the worst plugs on the market by a local tuner. He said something to the effect that there is so much surface area because of the triple prongs that they heat up fast, retain heat and are very prone to pre-ignition. He advised that anyone using nitrous or forced induction use a cold copper plug like an NGK.

I know that cjb80 is running a set-up like fperra describes. His car is shown in Turbo magazine (aug 2004 issue v20, #8)
