Re: what sparkplug for a high compression motor? Brian, I would defintely use at least an NGK TR6. I have run these for quite awile on all my setups with great luck. Anytime you are running on the edge of detonation, these are a great plug to use.

Re: what sparkplug for a high compression motor? I like the autolite AR472, its a non resistor plug. Has the ground cut back already and is much thicker and stronger. <img src="http://images.cardomain.com/installs/217000-217999/217306_20_full.jpg" alt=" - " />
TR55 stock heat range? Correct? My setup is around 10.7-1 static and I am running AC Delco Copper's that cross reference to TR55's. Is there anything to be gained by switching to the TR6 at this level?
