![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
So I have looked all over the forums and decided I want to purchase some TM spark plugs, but I am still unsure of which to get.
In most of the threads people say to get the "S" (star) series, but in the description of the part it says:
Regarding spark plug gap, we only make two sizes. Our standard size, which has an equivalent gap of about .120" and the "S" plug, which has an equivalent gap of about .090". The standard plug requires between 21,000 to 25,000 volts to fire under full pressure. Our "S" plugs require between 16,000 to 18,000 volts to fire under full pressure. The "S" plugs are designed for high compression racing applications, turbocharged, supercharged, NOS, etc. The gap on a Torque Master spark plug cannot be changed as it is an integral part of the overall design.
So are you guys still recommending the "S" plugs for all applications? Even though I don't have a supercharger, turbo, etc..?
Someone mentioned in an earlier thread that the standard size might cause low idle problems? I had trouble finding information on the differences of the two, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Mike

Ok, so I talked to l-tunedparts.com and they said that the "S" series is the only one approved for our cars, so I bought 8.. http://www.l-tunedparts.com/product/?id=1779
only $12.50 per plug, I think before people were paying $14.50 for them.
Can't wait to get them in!
Sorry for the unnecessary thread.
