simple question about spark plugs

Well I've elected to go with stock 9s trailing all the way around because they seem to be better for modded 7s running higher boost levels than stock. I am running a 12-10-12 boost pattern and being lightly modded I figured I'd give it a shot.
I was about to order when I thought of something that has stumped me. I believe that the plugs are labeled for rotor 1 and rotor 2 for both leading and trailing obviously. Does this mean there are any differences between the plugs for rotor 1 and 2? I don't think this is the case but I am asking just to confirm. So I can just order 4 trailings and slap them on regardless?

no labels that i know of for rotor one and two. just get the 9's and put them in. doesnt matter how or where. if you go 7/9 then you must do it right. the best part of going all 9's is that it is a no brainer. hope it helped. been running mine for a few months now with no ill effects while driving. i have noticed the idle to be a bit rough, but still workable. i can live with an up and down idle. could also be that i am running so damn rich. tuning is in the future, just not near future.

I am running 9's all the way around. Just changed them. The old 9's were a little crusty after 6k. The car didn't run any different with the new ones.

We have similar mods. I am looking for a Blitz SMIC.

Another April fools question no doubt, unless your
modded car was just bought by you. How could you have gotten those many mods on and not know about your plugs?

sorry first time I've changed my plugs in the 7. Owned it since last May, stored for the majority of the winter. So now its spring and I felt that changing them was in order. Yes changing them is practically a no-brainer but just I wanted to be absolutely sure before I went ahead and did them. And I am not clueless, electing to run 9s all the way around should indicate that I am not, again just wanted to make sure I was absolutely certain. Sorry......

well hopefully this summer I'll be changing to a front mount set-up. I'll send you a PM to see if your still interested, if I in fact go with a bigger IC given I have the funding to throw that extra money around.
