Default Spark plug question

I am wondering which spark plugs to use on a built 350 LT1 with ported AFR heads. The spark plugs on the engine are autolite 3924. Should I buy the same spark plugs that are on the engine or would there be better ones to use.

If stock compression ratio then run stock range plugs. Autolites are good.

Compression ratio should be stock or slightly higher. I see the Autolite 104s seem to be a good spark plug for the LT1 engine. I don't know if those would be better than the autolite 3924.

I don't know what the difference is between the two.

From what I can gather the Autolite 3924 is slightly colder than the 104, judging by info on Autolite's website.

I'd say colder is better especially if you are going to tune more aggressively.

What plug did the motor come stock with?

That is what I would use, unless you are supercharged or sprayed.

Ok, so I will stick with the autolite 3924. Right now it has a tune from FastChips.
