Great for street use. “8” Heat Range: For those who race at high boost levels and any upgraded turbochargers. Good for nitrous as well. Great for street use. “9” Heat Range: Race use only! Great for high boost and nitrous use. Not recommended for daily driving. **Set of 6 included** > [@psphinx81](#): > > r u kidding andy? > > no wonders ur car runs like ass lol Concept Z’s 300ZX Knowledge \> mine \> yours…so i think i’ll listen to what they have to say about which plugs to use. If they do end up having a short lifespan, then i’ll prob stick with coppers…but until that happens, i’m taking the advice of the pro’s on Z’s. I ran coppers all last summer on stock boost, and it didn’t run as bad as you think (but yes, it could have run better)…this year i will not be running stock boost…and so, i’m going to be running iridium’s…getting one step colder than stock as well…just incase i plan on running more than 15psi…which i eventually do. ---

I didn’t read the thread, but buying expensive spark plugs is like going to a titty bar with pasties… $1 copper NGKs are fine in 99/100 applications. ---

> [@num482](#): > > I run AL Copper’s > > :tup: copper in boosted cars. I was planning on running coppers in the S4, but when I asked around I had heard that it might be a bad idea. People have said that the copper tip can melt and fall off, then get run right threw my turbo’s, which would be very bad. Anyone ever heard of this? ---

If you are running that hot, you should be worrying about other engine components rather than a little spark plug. Copper’s melting point is like, 1900+ degree F. You don’t want your engine EGT’s getting to anything above 1650 ish ---
