Anyone looking for a great builder I highly recommend the following.
For CP products dealers I would recommend:
Arlan at LED(site sponsor), Pete Schemberger at Hybrid Engineering, Mat Shearer at Shearer Custom Pipes, Dennis Packard at Packard Racing, and Nate McCoy of McCoys Peformance.

Other great builders I also would recommend: Neil Prichard, Jerry Hall, Bubba Ramsey and James Dodge.

I just got some NGK's they are in a red box, is that bad?

Are the BE8EG plugs any good?

When I worked for Honda all their NGK plugs were in red boxes.....Yes the B8EG is a good plug if it is the heat range you are looking for...It is a gold palladium plug.....

weird, i have encountered some plugs with indications that are clearly genuine markings along with what seems like "fake" plug markings, like correct box, correct glazing on porcelain corregations, correct markings and finish on main body, but terminal nut is loose, or the washer at the bottom would come off.

The last 10 pack I bought is the light yellow box. I went through all the plug boxes and only found 2 that did not have the 3rd ID sig on the side. They are all stamped on the hex. Big question??? If they are not NGK do they still work?

If you get them from a name brand parts store I would think your pretty safe. I'm surd they buy right from NGK. IMO it would be risky buying them from eBay. Its plenty easy for and eBay seller to buy a truck load of plugs from China and sell them off for cheap.

I buy them from advance auto. There by farthe cheapest I've found. $2.19

Our local thrift auto store which buys second hand stuff as well as new is where I get my NGK. The old price was $1.75 each. The new ones were $1.60 each. Thought it was weird at the time.
