Best Spark Plugs For E85?

So i’ve heard a lot between the classic NGK 97506 and the oem bmw “high power” 12120042724 (ngk SILZKBR8F8S)

I am running full E85 and i would consider my car to be considered in the higher boost ranges as my low boost map is 29 psi.

has anyone has an experience of running either and at what boost levels and fueling?

I went to do a log yesterday and the first log looked fine but the second time i went to go log, the moment i shifted into 4th, my power cut off and i got missfire codes and fuel injection shut off codes.

the injectors are brand new, just put them in and coded correctly and the tune adjusts for the eu5 DI.

Just waiting for my tuner to get back to me but in the meantime wanted to ask around if anyone had any experiences with either

Max on stock turbos is about 22 on top end.
You may want to close the gap to .018 and/or run B58 coils. https://vadersolutions.com/products/...40517517934701

F8S should be standard issue plugs on full E85 cars. 97506 are good for pump gas but timing won’t be clean as F8S on E85.
