Whats the best daily driver spark plug?

Whats a good Spark plug for the LT1 with 135k miles on it. car is a daily driver, and does see some racing once in while..
i used GM's Platium plugs with the 4 prongs, but i think they are fouled out now, and need to change them

Well the Delco plats. are a very good plug for daily driving. I have just switched over to NGK TR-55s however and am happy with those as well.

Another vote for the NGK TR-55s.

No problems so far.

Rule of thumb = 1 step colder for every 75hp increase.

Try a step colder and see how they look after a week or so of driving. If they carbon up then you need to go hotter. The correct heat range will self clean.
