I know you are the boss of this site and I know you have the power to boot anyone at anytime and we all respect that...BUT what does the phrase"CONDUCT HEAT AWAY"mean?Do you mean"DISSIPATE HEAT AWAY"from the tip?what tip do you mean?the side electrode,the center electrode or the porcelain insulator?I know my car performs better with a colder plug than a hotter plug because numbers dont lie.Defiant said:Plug "heat" has absolutely no effect on cylinder temperatures. The heat range on spark plugs applies only to the ability of the spark plug to conduct heat away from the tip.
Running plugs of too low a heat range will lead to fouling and misfires. Running plugs that are too high a heat range will lead to plug damage.
It takes a fair bit of high tuning and extreme use before BPR6 plugs can't keep up. And it will be the extraordinarily rare motor that will keep 8s happy.

what was the point of your reply?I just read your link and all that was is a sales pitch to buy their product and it must be a good one because you fell for it hook line and sinker. What does autolite say,Bosch, etc.Dont believe everything you read grasshopper.92awddsm said:

cool...now im getting somewhere but I got lost on the"transferring heat to the cooling system"thing.does this mean the plug takes the heat and puts it in the radiator?I got chewed out by defiant for saying plugs effect cylinder temp and you just said the samething I did.thanx though but I will stick with my winning combo.gsx951 said:Settle down Bevis....
"It is important to remember that spark plugs do not create heat, they can only remove heat. The spark plug works as a heat exchanger by pulling unwanted thermal energy away from the combustion chamber, and transferring the heat to the engine's cooling system. The heat range is defined as a plug's ability to dissipate heat."

I don't. Sadly, at times.gurmanator said:I know you are the boss of this site and I know you have the power to boot anyone at anytime
You should run 6's simply because you'll foul out the 7's and have to replace them more often than you would 6's.knighteclipse1 said:I'm running BPR7ES Plugs in my car, I have no complaints here. Probably also depends on the amount of mod's you plan on your car.
Pfiddle, no need. But much appreciated.gurmanator said:Again,apology and thanks to all
gurmanator said:I want to send out an apology to defiant,92awddsm,gsx951...I know what I wanted to say but It came out wrong.I want to send out thanks to ddavisaf for saying what I wanted to say.Altitude,barometric pressure and ambient temperature have a great effect on the "tune" of your car.what works at high altitude does not work at low altitude and all of the testing that is performed is usually at low altitude.Again,apology and thanks to all
