i'd say just get the ik20 because its not like your gonna be spraying all the time... i'd say get the colder ik22 if your running constant boost like turbo... i'm just using common sense, someone can correct me if i'm wrong..

IK20 is a "hot plug." Ideal for our 7thgens stock or with light mods.
PRO:
"This keeps the plug temperature higher overall which is ideal for stop-start city driving conditions. "
CON:
hotter engine and n2o spray isn't maximized

IK22 is a colder plug. Ideal for boost.
PRO:
"Cold plugs are typically used in racing conditions because of its ability to transfer heat out of the cylinder chamber quickly. Most turbo, supercharged and nitrous oxide applications use this type of plug because of the tremendous heat they generate. A colder plug can also minimize the risk of pre-ignition and detonation, "
CON:
"however if the plug is to cold there is risk of fouling during extended periods of idling and low-speed operation. "

Like i said... i'd say get the IK20 if you daily drive a lot... or get the IK22 if you plan on spraying and racing a lot..

So I'm going to close this since we don't need two posts about the same thing.....

I know this was the first but the other one should be able to answer your questions, and if not, I can just unlock this for ya....
