I was using the NGK BCPR7ES $2.00 with an 0.33 gap and I had great performance In my 01' Viggen I went to have the car looked at and my SAAB mechanic and he says hey!... you know you should not be using these plugs in this car, you need the "PFR6H-10" or the laser platinum premium dipped, uranium encrusted, plutonium powerd ones!... I said oh ok, I will buy the $$$ 56.00 plugs $$$ and be on my way and oh yeah he says gap them to 0.35-0.39...OK shure thing buddy!....So I put in my Trump Plugs and to my horror notice a massive decrease in performance, not a lot but deffinately noticable and not just by my "seat of the pants" the boost gauge also reads only half way.
I think I will stick with my $8.00 redneck plugs!
Can I reuse my old ones and is he right should I be using the expensive NGK Laser platinum premiums?
All help appreciated!
