Im going to move this to the FI section for you. I bet the external III folks will just tell you NGK TR55-6's. Which isnt going to be much help.

I was thinking about going with some TR7-IX for my turbo 10psi ls1 setup. Thoughts on using those?

I guess I'm going to answer my own question with anther question. Seems like everyone either like the NGK TR6 or the NGK BR7EF. What is the difference between these two beside the heat range of 6 and 7 respectively? If I'm planning on running 10-12lbs of boost from a TC78, then which one is going to be ideal for me. Also, these are going into a set of 317 heads.

If you're running the motor NA then any plug will work for now. Just put better (colder) plugs in when you start boosting it.

I'm using AutoLite 104's now. A local tuner here in Tulsa recommended those because he swears NGK's are crap..

these are some good ideas, i was mainly wondering what i should use in a carbed n/a setup on the dyno. it will have a victor jr with efi and boost once in the car. also wasnt sure if the trickflow 235 heads use the factory plug style or different
