Question Bolt ons, ported heads, HOTcam- spark plug suggestions plz.

I've tried a few diferent plugs on my car with the heads/cam setup, they've been ok but I'm ready to get rid of the champion copper plugs that I currently have. I'm looking for a plug that will last a while in there since they are such a ***** to change out. I have some taylor OVC wires on the way from thunderracing, and figured I'd go ahead and get some plugs and swap them while I'm waiting on the wires.

Thanks

I run autolites 104's and 106's (at different times of course) but I also change my plugs often. so copper plugs dont seem to matter. With my headders its cake to access my plugs. What are you running.

I think you're going to find a lot of votes for the NGK TR55 or TR6 depending on if you spray or not. I run the TR55 in both of my cars, and they're very nice plugs indeed.

Faded- I've got SLP single cat style headers.

Fast- Someone has suggested TR-6 to me already. I don't spray. Would the TR-55 be for spray?

No, I'm anti-spray. The TR55 is a stock heat range for N/A purposes. I think it's a great plug. I swear by them now.

Anti-spray Ok, so I'm assuming the TR-6 is one heat range colder than stock?

I am running TR6's now but don't really need them that cold. TR55's are great for milder N/A heads/cam cars. I'll go back to them eventually.

Thanks for the help Chris. I was going to do some homework now, but the MTSU website is down so I can't get my info.... I think I might just go spark plug shopping
