NGK TR55s would be fine at .050", IMO.

Yup TR55's if no nitrous.

TR6 for a small shot

BR7EF for 150+

Why would you use a wider gap than stock?

I meant to say 45, I remember him stating in another thread he had impala head gaskets. It raises the compression so he could use 45 rather than 50.

this is what bryan at pcmforless told me to run on my 200cc AI 383 with 12:1 compression

Autolite 104 plugs with the gap around .040 to .045 (slightly closed up due to the high compression)
