Default 383 N/A Plugs

My 383/Trickflow heads will have 11:3 compression. Using this thread: https://ls1tech.com/forums/removed-locked-thread-graveyard/456380-spark-plug-reference-chart.html should I go with the Autolite AR3911? Doing a search, it seems that more N/A modded lt1 owners prefer the Autolites over the NGK. I will gap the plugs at .40 from what my shop instructs.

The Autolites have the cutback ground tip to help expose the electrode.

Thanks everybody. Ed, I think that will be the one I go with. I don't plan to do nitrous.
