I have used the Bosch 4 plugs for about 200K miles and they work great. I am considering switching because Edelbrock recommends using a different plug for their heads (and my setup). Here is there recommendation:

Up to 10.5 to 1 Compression

Champion ----------- RC9YC / 2075
Autolite -------------- 3924
NGK ----------------- FR 5 / 7373 OR BCPR7ES / 3330
Accel Shorty -------- 0414S

Do you think the NGK mentioned here is a better choice?

Here is the specs onthe cam. I chose this one over the Powermax 2050 grind because the Crane guys said it would be more friendly to the A4 transmission. I'll let you know how it runs in a few weeks!

Do you mean the NGKs will lower the compression ratio? They are 170cc heads: http://store.summitracing.com/partde...D61909&FROM=MG

Ohhh I see... it's a 210/224

Yeah, that's a pretty nice cam, and a good choice for your mods.

Ugh, stock converter. WHY are people so scared of at least a 2800 stall for a daily driver.

In my case, I just had the trans rebuilt in the fall and don't want to buy another converter just yet. Also, I am not looking to improve track times because I only intend to drive this on the street. It is my wife's daily driver until the 5th gen comes out.
