hey guys, trying to find out how your luck has been with these plugs. Going to be trying a set with my car and wanted to know what I could expect. I run a awe stage 3 setup and I will be receiving those okada coilpacks soon.
Look forward to hearing from any of you who used them.

mine should be coming in the mail in a few days, I will give my review after using them for a little while. But I too would like to hear others opinions on them who've been running them for a while.
I've read on other forums great things

When I ran the stock coils they were great plugs. They cleaned up idle and off idle throttle response very nicely.
Once I installed the Okada coils-- not so much. I had random misfires all over the place.

Standard copper plugs one heat range colder than stock.

You might also want to mention that you have a relative power plant running under your hood. :)

I hear they are great with the stock coils as well. I have had a few tuners recommend them to me. Personally I run Iridium NGK 7's and they are great. I decided not to mess with the gap since they all came at .029" and cold or hot I have had zero misfire issues. I am only stg1 though.

With the new coils I hear you can gap to .04.
That would give you a larger arch, and cleaner burn. If you start getting misfires, then the coils cant keep up and you'll have to tone it down. Higher boost and RPM are harder on the packs as well.
