The stock plug will be the Champion RZ7C the upgrade in the same heat class is the NGK CMR7H.
Not sure I have seen any difference, but then again I'm off road and not on road. They will both last forever in your MT. I only switched after several gallons to see the difference.

There is no "stock plug". I have seen several straight-out-of-the-box FG OR-cars delivered with NGK CMR7H and several with Champion RZ7C. So both can be called stock.

The most apparent difference is that several of those running the Champion plug experienced range problems with their FM-PPM radios.

NGK EVERYTIME[8D]. HAD PROBLEMS WITH CHAMPION IN THE PAST.
I PERSONALLY RUN A 5 OR A 6 GRADE WITH BETTER RESULTS. IMPROVED ACCELERATION BEING NOTICEABLE. (OOPS CAPS LOCK!)

Careful, the taller the plug the higher chance of breakage.

I think you might have answered my question about why all these plugs are "resistor" plugs. (that is what the "R" stands for)
