i run a OS Speed and Vspec...i have never ran anything else other than the P3's. Rain, shine, hot, cold, or humid; the P3 always works without a problem. If you are in cooler weather I would definately go with the P3.

Looks like I will go with the P3 I think this is what came with the engine when I bought it new (not run it yet).

Cheers guys

ive ran p3's and p6's. the p6's werent hot enough to hold a reliable idle without dying but it would run fine once it was going. i switched to the p3 which has been what i have been running ever sinse without any problems. its also what OS reccommends

P3 all the time. I switch to a P4 and P6, then went back to a P3 because it gave me the best performance.

The hotter plugs make for a larger tuning window.The colder plugs P4 and P6 narrow the tuning window, but when tuned correctly will make more power, and get better run times.
I run P4's year round, and my engines are always rippin..lol
I actually want to try the new p5's on a nice clear day in 09.

I am told the new Ninja engines use the same P3 plug, the engine is made by OS so this would make sense + Sirio engines also use the same plug. If this is correct it may be cheaper not to buy the OS branded plugs for my V Spec as the other manufactures I mentioned sell the same plug for a cheaper price.

The Siro plugs have the same taper, but are NOT the same plug.. I would stick with the OS plugs in your V spec or Ninja JX. P3 Or P4. If your not confident in your tuning ability, stick with the P3
