I would start with a 10 and work your way down. Always much smarter to start too cold vs. too hot. Let me know if you need any part numbers for the plugs.

Don't go by the sticky up top anymore like Chris posted. Those are the wrong part numbers and have since been updated by NGK. They're all racing plugs but with projected tips...something we don't want. NGK gave you the correct ones for the 8 and 9 heat range. For the 10's you guessed right. I have a excel spreadsheet that cross references all of the plugs and lists their specs if you'd like me to email it to you? Sometimes the NGK's can be hard to come by and the autolites work just as well.

We keep the 8s and 9s instock. We do not stock the 10s. If you are spraying 300 9s are plenty. If you go to the 400 10s may be a better option. These plugs will fowl easy so get ready to start changing plugs.
