Default Which plug to start with" help"

This is my first LS and Procharger build and i need to know which spark plug to put in it to start with. It's a 9.5 to 1 402ci with stock 243 heads. It's got a F1A that is suppose to make somewhere around 14-16psi, running 93 octane with a AIS w/meth dual nozzle setup. Stock computer. If more info is needed, let me know. I picked the engine up today and they forgot to include the cam card in the info, all i know is they said it's right under .600 lift.

Thanks
Allen

I am starting off with BR7EFS @ .027 on mine but most likely at our power levels I will go ahead and put 8's on it. They may foul out quicker, but its not like I wont be pulling plugs anyways. Plugs are cheap. motors are not.

I should have added they just stuck some Autolite AR 3932's in it to fill the holes for the haul home. Are they any count for this app?

3932 are comparable to NGK #10 plug, pretty cold for a street car, you could run them but would probably foul pretty quick...my .02

I used BR7EF initially @15 psi with E85, but switched to TR6 for better idle quality... I think you can get away with a little hotter plug on E85
