Spark plugs
Just wondering which spark plugs you all prefer? Have you had better luck with hot or cold plugs? I am going to run MSD plug wires and just wondering what you would recommend?

If you have forced induction, most say to go 1 or 2 steps colder. The plugs will hit the ideal temp sooner. Otherwise. Id run stock.
Drag racing...just another numbers game.

Don't know a lot about this area...how do you know if the plug is a hotter or colder plug? I have the stock induction with the slp lid. Is there a part number that I can just take to a parts store and tell them those are the plugs I want?

Spending $150+ for Granatelli wires is going a bit overboard IMO(especially for a stock engine). The MSD wires are around $55.00 and are fine.

Horse power did a show this weedend or last that did a dyno test on a motor to test stock plugs against I think they were C3 or E3 they showed a 6hp gain just with plugs..

NGK's here.....but I did run a set of Brisk Spark plugs in my LT1 motor and I have to say I was very impressed with them....trouble is they are hard to find....Chevy did a write up on them a while back so I thought I'd see what they did.....
