I thought about that but I just wonder if off the shelf wire loom can stand the heat.

Great deal on plugs. I have a new set already but maybe I'll pick up a set just to have.

Yeah there are some old threads where MM, RG, and others discuss some on it. basically colder plugs have more of a chance of fouling out. That said, many run the RX7 plugs in the leading position. I am still looking into it as of course with anything RX8 related there is conflicting info.

Yea I was settled on 7 plugs for leading and 8 plugs for trailing. Also hahaha yes just like everything else 60 different "experts" have different ideas.

I think 90% of the time they just say the opposite of what someone else said to feel unique and different.

Haven't got them yet, I was going to get them last. I want to make sure I have the turbo and all components before I get plugs I can never use unless I'm FI.
