    Your using those MSD coils with built in ignitors i take it? or something similar.


    Would you be willing to supply some info on them like if you had any problems with them or not ect?


    My gze daily is getting new coils and computer, and at this stage ill be going with the msd units. Just curious to know of any problems/issues using them.

    thanks

    BCPR7ES-11, stock ignition, only ever had it up to 12psi at the time. Planning on still using the same ones for new setup with more boost.

    As far as i know silver is the best conductor of electricity and then copper, so i'd go with a silver plug to suit with the right gap. Just don't go platnum or iridium

    plat and iridium are worth more because they last a lot longer than copper ones, you are correct that silver plugs conduct better. ideally gold would be the best but i doubt anyone makes them.


    Really nothing wrong with copper plugs, you should pull them out and at least check/regap them when you service it so, cant beat em really. You wouldnt notice any difference even on a dyno unless under extremly well monitored conditions, with a highly tuned engine me thinks.
