I run the supercharged v6 plugs the are set to the standard gap of 1.3mm

the part number is (NKG) BPR6EF-13 im not sure if they have a different heat range, but they are a different gap to standard, non supercharged.

I have done a few supercharged ls1's and found that if you drive them hard they eat plugs resulting in a miss fire at high revs and load, i would recomend to change the plugs every service, its cheap insurance.

im going to change mine before the skidpan day in a few weeks.

Hey there Mat, another turbo wagon cool, looks like we are getting a clan, be interested to see some pick of your set up.
yeah the V6's love boost, and if they pop they are cheap to fix

3bar allows for upto 30psi of boost 20 would be about max without some work on the engine to keep the head gaskets between the heads and block oringing and copper gaskets etc

with the spark problems try a set of S/C coils as well, they have a higher output
i had similar issues on a VR i did a while ago, the coils fixed it all up
