Default spark plugs

Anybody who did a Stage 1 swap plugs? I mean, are the stock plugs as good after a Stage1 or should there be a hotter or cooler plug to take advantage of the upgrade.? Just curious.

Stock plug will be more than exceptable for a stage 1 upgrade. Unless you start making major changes to the motor I would doubt you would need to change the plug heat range. Just my $.02.

All correct! Plugs shouldn't need upgraded unless engine combinations are changed such as,compression increased(pistons),cams,heads, injectors,throttle body etc...
