It depends if you are running stock plugs or 1 or 2 steps colder (due to pulley upgrade, for instance). Check posts 93 & 94 of this thread for cross reference of plugs.

both work.
According to NGK the newer part number supersedes the older BKR part number.
Gap is the same, reach is the same but I think tip(electrode) specs are different.

Shouldn't matter but there are a lot more people that have reported running the old part number.
That'd be the safe bet IMO.

Same price, but .032 gap on BKR7EIX-11, and .045 gap on ZFR6FIX-11.
