Default AFR 210 Spark Plug Question

Dear fellow Home Skillets, I am curious to know which spark plugs to run. I just put a set of AFR 210's on the car (2001 Camaro SS)and a Ligenfelter GT2-3 cam. The rotating assembly is the stock bottom end. Thank you in advance for any and all advice regarding this matter.

When in doubt go colder. Any idea what your compression ratio is.

I see you are another Alabama guy...nice to have you here. If you are running stock compression I'd just go with NGK TR55's. Although you could probably go one step colder to a NGK TR6 and be perfectly fine too.

I went from a TR6 to a BR7EF and lost zero driveability. In fact I'd have to say it actually runs better.

I'd at least go to a NGK TR6 gapped at .035. I'm a firm believer that when in doubt go to a colder plug. If you change plugs and something doesn't seem right just swap back. If you don't notice a change then you made a good move.
