Default what plugs

What plugs do you guys think i should run. Im running a 12.1 355 with trickflow heads. I plan on spraying 150 to 200 shot. Im currently running autolite ar3935's.

I always used NGK TR55's. They are great for n/a motors but I think guys running spray are using TR66's. I'm sure someone else will correct me if I'm wrong.

Non-projected tip plugs, heat range 6 minimum, probably 7, especially if you'll be spraying often. With that much compression, you'd probably need to go to a range 6-7 anyway, even without spray. Good rule of thumb I heard a while back is closing gaps .004 per 50 HP above stock. Ray at Nitrous Outlet (site sponsor) can get you dialed in. Shoot him a pm or give him a call.

Try NGK TR66s, I've had good luck with them. As for gap, I agree with Gojira94. Ray would be the one to talk to about getting you zeroed in.

They did fine on the street for me, and that's running ethanol.

You also need a gasketed plug for those heads.
