Spark Plug type and gap

[Leeboy_64]

 I have a bf11 turbo Ute which I bought in October 2006. Traded my 2004 xr8 for it.  After my warranty ran out I started doing the upgrades and services myself. I have a hoist and full workshop at home so it makes it a little easier.  I started using the Dpr8ea9 NGKR plugs ( 8mm gap) because they are so cheap and I was changing them every 10 thousand k anyway.   My car is a reasonable 630 hp. Around 470kw at the flywheel. So it’s no monster however it’s not too bad.  I’ve just done a rocker cover seal kit because I was leaking oil into two spark plug tunnels and the car was misbehaving under load. I’ve decided to go back to the genuine plugs with a 8mm gap. AGSP22YE 09. From Bayfords.  I did this after reading some of the groups comments.   Thanks for the advice and I’ll see how they go.

Apparently the genuine plugs are perfect for the XR6 turbo. I haven't had to change them however after my car got tuned, the tuner (who runs a well known Sydney tuning shop) installed FORD OEM spark plugs. Everything else however was aftermarket.
