Default e85 Sparkplugs recommendations?
I'm still new to actually running e85.

Going to replace a few things, fuel filter ect.
May aswell change the plugs too.
I have NGK #6 in them now. to keep or to change?

I run the same as Vic, but I think I switched to the V-groves, same heat range.

BPR7ES, look at the gap also. May want to gap them down a bit, say 0.025" or slightly less depending on boost.

BPR7EY Is the part number for the better design V-groove plug. I use the same gap as Shawn. Discussed this for long time with Josh as well. Price is the same, so this is a deal.

FWIW, I just found some on Ebay... came out of UK. Sounds like the "V Groove" is part number BPR7E - 1142 in the UK and is BPR7E -1144 in the US.

Hopefully that helps someone.
