just a quick confirmation required.
D8EA are the ones listed. I have a set of Andrews Coils fitted.
Should I run with stock plugs or go for NGK DR8EIX as suggested by the NGK plug selector guide?

Thanks for the info, I'll give the standard one a go and see what happens.
Could be that the Iridium ones make it go faster 'cos your wallet is lighter.....

Sorry John, when you getting the slicks?

A mate of mine is well in to GPZ750 turbo's, he's got 3 of them. Not a kat I know, but same era.
Stock cheapo plugs and they fine. Iridiums, either won't run or like a bag of nails.
